Working out at gym, home, or FD

Hey everyone!

I'm big into working out lately really getting into it.

I'm doing the Spartacus workout right now, it's not to bad, I may be trying the P90X soon.

I hit the gym as well, have some easy free weights at home.

My question is at the fire house, what do you guys do for working out?




I know a few good ones, getting a ladder out and climbing it 3-5 times, up down, 1.

Full gear minus air, jogging around the house or parking lot.

Getting old hose, using it as a weight.

Getting in gear doing a few push ups.



Open to any and all advice, I'm really looking for working out while it being fun, or semi fun.


I really like to pay attention to cardio.

    Try the INSANITY workout! Nothing but your own body weight, but man it will get you cut & strong in about 8 weeks!

    I do the insanity workout, and I hit the local 24/7 gym a couple-three times a weeks, dumbbells and leg presses mostly at the gym, and a run on the treadmill a couple times a week.

    I did insanity on a dare while on shift not a good idea! Then had a rather large pt while still on shift. Lets just say it was a rough day. But it is challenging I enjoyed it!
