I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 exercises for Fire Rescue Athletes. \u00a0\"Prone-Plank-Pulse-start\"<\/a>This list is the culmination of over 10 years of research on fire-ground movements and over 20 years experience working with athletes. You can click here to get a copy of that list.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is one that made the list.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/b>Plank (s)<\/u><\/strong><\/b>\u2014It’s no surprise that the one of the exercises on this list is a core exercise.\u00a0 Back injuries are the number one reason firefighters and medics go on early disability so it’s imperative that as a fire rescue athlete you focus on strengthening the core.\u00a0 The plank exercise requires no equipment and is an incredible exercise for improving core strength, endurance, and power.\u00a0 As mention previously, core strength is integral for the fire rescue athlete, as all movement occurs around the core. The plank will increase core efficiency allowing the body to have greater control and stability. All fire rescue athletes should include some version of the plank in their workout program.\u00a0 Use multiple positions: plank, side plank, and bridge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Try these variations…<\/p>\n

    \"Plank-variation\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Side plank really helps to develop oblique strength and helps in twisting motions.<\/p>\n

    \"Superman-plank-mid\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Super-plank (opposite arm\/leg raises) is a very challenging movement that integrates core stability and balance.<\/p>\n

    \"plank-on-ball\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Use the stability ball to really challenge your core including the shoulders. \u00a0Try the stir the pot exercise (click here for a tutorial).<\/a><\/p>\n

    Give these plank variations a try and Get FRF!<\/p>\n

    Stay safe and healthy,<\/p>\n
