FireFighter Workout

Unbelievable Workout!
This is an incredible workout. It seems so deceptively simple. Exercise for 45 seconds and then recover for 20 seconds. However, this is an intense and grueling and demanding workout. It literally kicks "booty". I couldn't complete the whole 45 seconds on a lot of them...and when the instructor says you will feel it in 48 hours (he's lying...you feel it the next day) you will really feel it. I am not trying to be a firefighter; I just want to get in shape, but this is a great workout and I highly recommend this for someone who wants an effective, intense cardio workout. One thing I didn't quite like about it was that there is no warmup or cooldown. However, this is minor, I warmup and cooldown on the treadmill before and after the workout.
Some have said they don't like the friendly "banter" from the leader in the workout, but trust me, you won't even hear it half the time. You will be concentrating so hard on the correct movement, balance, or trying to keep from passing...

Wow!!
Great workout! I have done it 6 times now and I am still sore 2 days afterwards. There are great exercises here and while watching (not doing the workout) may LOOK easy, it is absolutely a kicker! The exercises are very much work related. It is designed to keep your posture while bending, reaching and extending with the medicine ball. I'd recommend it not just to firefighters, but to any athlete. This is a good workout.

Holy Moley!!
Man, was I surprised! I have tried other "firefighter workouts" and they were not really much of a workout. I did this one without a medicine ball the first couple times just to try it out. It kicked my butt. I was sore for 3 days. Initially, some points were hard to keep up with and that got a little frustrating, but after doing the workout the second or third time I was able to keep up just fine. Surprised me with the balance exercises, those were freakin' hard!

Great follow along workout. I am taking it to work next shift!
