Back injuries are the number one reason firefighters and medics go on early disability so it&#8217;s imperative that as a fire rescue athlete you focus on strengthening the core. The plank exercise requires no equipment and is an incredible exercise for improving core strength, endurance, and power. 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. Use multiple positions: plank, side plank, and bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Prone-2BPlank-2BPulse-2Bstart.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Prone-2BPlank-2BPulse-2Bstart.jpg?resize=320%2C211\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"211\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Prone Plank (one of the best core exercises)<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Try these other variations&#8230;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/plank-2Bon-2Bball.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/plank-2Bon-2Bball.jpg?resize=320%2C215\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"215\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Stability ball plank- a great core challenge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-XrZb9-7tzT4\/U5YiI7oKF5I\/AAAAAAAABj4\/aWngk67sm_Y\/s1600\/Superman+plank+mid.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com\/gadgets\/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-XrZb9-7tzT4%2FU5YiI7oKF5I%2FAAAAAAAABj4%2FaWngk67sm_Y%2Fs1600%2FSuperman%2Bplank%2Bmid.png&amp;container=blogger&amp;gadget=a&amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Opposite arm leg\/ raises (super mans)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.getresponse.com\/site\/freereportssep2014\/webform.html?wid=4780601&amp;u=geb&amp;mg_param3=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Want to know how to incorporate this exercise into your program? \u00a0Click here to get my FREE Report and a great Firefighter Workout<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/u><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Stay Safe and Healthy,<\/div>\n<div>Aaron Zamzow<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/\">www.firerescuefitness.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently completed a FREE report of the &#8220;10 Best Exercises for Firefighters.&#8221; You can get a copy of all 10 exercises for FREE by Clicking HERE Now. \u00a0Here is one that made the list.
