Morning team, howdy Rob masters at College New Zealand personal trainer here.
Today to continue the theme of emergency services, I'm going to talk about some of our brethren at the fire service and what they can do to create a nice strong upper body, good solid base core for strength, so it enables them to throw out their hoses and climb up those ladders and throw people over their shoulders and get cats out of trees and so forth and things like that. So I've got a couple of good exercises here that I'll quickly go through. If you come with me this way we'll have a look what we've got.
Here is called the 'milkman carry' but today we're going to call it the 'fireman carry'. Ok, so we've got two 16 kilo kettlebells. Pushing up through the legs, shoulders back, chest out and you just walk. Walk about 50 meters and I'm back again. Back the other 50 meters. Drop the kettlebells, move on to your next one.
Now we know (well I knew as a policeman), that there's nothing better that firemen and women love doing more than smashing stuff down, so they're going to love this one. You've got a sledge hammer, you've got a tire. Nice strong core exercise. Thought there might be a bit loud. Nice good core pulled in tight slamming, over alternating between arms and shoulders. Alright doors being knocked in. In they go. What do they come across; someone's passed out in the fire, the smokes in the room, apparatus on. Oh dear, come round picking up that person and flipping them out the front. Nice deep squat, core strong and flipping forward. All right, once again, three exercises, a minute on each one. Rotate 5 to 6, 6 sets and you've got yourself a pretty good workout. I'm working up a sweat as if I've been in a house that's on fire.
It's okay, take care of yourself. Bye guys the girls, policemen as usual, even the nurses in the hospital could use stuff like this picking out those patients and so forth.
I'll catch you next time.
Have a safe day.
