Training

Hello, my name is Tyler and im 16 and i am in a Explorer Post for almost 2 years. I have not been able to do anything becuase i had a medical problem, but that is now all resolved. I was looking for some advice on specific workouts for the fire service. I have not been able to workout for awhile and i am going to need to eeze into it, but i need to start gaining muscle and endurance as fast as possible. I would love to hear back from others and hear what they have to say, thank you.

I think has been covered in here before. Start with cardio...stairs stairs stairs...then your core, abs AND back. The best way to start gaing muscle after that is sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, then go to a moderate weight lifting program. Learn the technique of lifting, then the specific techniques needed for the job!

Good luck to you.

Don't rush yourself, or you will just ge hurt. I would start on the elliptical for 15 minutes on no resistance, and then work yoour way up, if you overstress your body by over-using, then you won't gain anything, I would suggest every other day and then ease into everyday. Hope this helps. TCSS
