Local fitness expert Rhonda Murphy shares with us a tough workout to gain the strength and courage of a firefighter.
Rhonda says the first exercise is called "stir the pot."
Use an exercise ball and balance your forearms on it. Make a circular motion while you are supporting your body. This exercise is one of the hardest core exercises a person can do. It mimics pulling a hose.
Rhonda says another exercise is a crab crawl up to a Bosu ball plank.
She says a firefighter's fitness is functional for the profession.
