This firefighter workout plan is designed to build strength, improve cardio, lose weight and get ripped. Because lives are on the line, firefighters must always be proactive in maintaining peak physical fitness.

This firefighter workout program will turn any person, firefighter or not, into a potential life-saving machine. Each workout in this firefighter routine is comprised of specific exercises that will build balance, power, stamina, and core stabilization that is necessary for all successful firefighters.

Build Serious Strength

Strength is a key component of this firefighter workout schedule and this means performing heavy compound exercises at lower reps, no more than eight for this workout plan.

Also, cardio and core strength is paramount to this routine because firefighters have many obstacles such as climbing several flights of stairs all while wearing heavy equipment and carrying survivors, and without the proper endurance strength will be of little use.

Utilize Supersets

The firefighter workout program is broken up into four workouts that are to be completed each once a week. The best schedule would be to perform M,T,TR,F in the order they are listed, since most people like to take it easy on the weekends.

Supersets are utilized for this firefighter workout program to spur muscle growth, burn fat, and incorporate cardio throughout the firefighter workout. Check out the plan and start following this firefighter workout routine today!

Check out the Firefighter Workout Plan - Phase II, after you have completed the current firefighter workout plan.

    This is a great workout regiment. I am not a firefighter yet, but I am training to be one. This workout is the best I have done in a while.

    I haven't personally done this firefighter workout routine but I do really like the emphasis on core strength/rotational movements, compound movements like squats/deadlifts, and tied together with a superset scheme: all great things for firefighter fitness training. If you want to get in great firefighting shape then give this plan a try!
