FireReady Performance

Fitness doesn't have to be a rigid routine; it's about enjoying the journey 🌳🏋️‍♀️

Embrace the outdoors, find activities you love, and let the joy of movement guide your fitness journey. Whether it's a scenic hike, a bike ride, or surf in the ocean – make it about enjoyment, not just reps 🚵🏄

If it means the difference between doing something and nothing. ALWAYS go with something. Your body and mind will thank you for the balance. Let's break free from strict fitness norms and celebrate the joy of moving in ways that make us smile! 😊💚

Struggle getting enough protein in?

Well this protein filled overnight weetbix is easily meal prepped so you're never rushing around choosing the poor option in the morning.

What you Need:
- Weetbix or equivalent (I do 4)
- 5-8 scoops of greek yoghurt
- Scoop of protein powder
- Fruit of choice on top (I do strawberries or banana)

1. Crush the weetbix in the bottom of your container and fill to your level with milk.
2. Mix the yoghurt and protein together in a separate bowl then spread on top of the weetbix.
3. Top with fruit of choice

Try it and let me know what you think

Looks the same right? (I wish I looked like Joel Seedman) 🤡

Jokes aside, drags are one of the most relevant and life saving movements we can do in the gym. They are directly applicable to firefighting and being able to drag the full weight of an adult along the floor is no easy task. It is a movement you should train and be as strong as possible at. 💪

You never know when you'll need it! 🔥🔥

"FIGHT THE HEAT! 🔥💪

When we exercise our core body temperature rises creating a stress response itself.

Due to the body adaptive mechanisms, each time we do this, it becomes better at handling higher core temperatures. Obviously during firefighting we are exposed to high heat levels, so the fitter you are will only help you stay composed and cooler during operations. 🥵

Being fit isn't just about looking good; it's about building a strong defense against heat stress. Stay fit, stay cool, conquer the heat! 🌡️🏋️‍♂️

Essential as our gear, hydration is our silent ally💧

Did you know a firefighter can lose 1.2kg of sweat during operations!

In the intensity of firefighting, we sweat. A lot. It's the tangible result of hard work, dedication, and literally litres of sweat left on the frontline. Staying sharp means staying hydrated. Drink up, it's more than just a recommendation – it's a necessity.🚒

Not only during shift but before and after is arguably more important. Being adequately hydrated can potentially mean the difference between collapse or not.

We all know the rule, if you aren't looking after yourself how can you expect to look after anyone else?

⏹️ FAILING ⏹️⁠
⁠
Bit motivational but the only time you fail is if you don't give it another go. Failing is fine, as long as you learn from it and come back better than last time. ☝️⁠
⁠
Getting into the fires is no easy task, we all know that. But putting your best foot forward and knowing you've put the work in will make it all the more satisfying when you do eventually get in. 📶⁠
⁠
Fitness is the most trainable aspect of the testing process, so if you aren't putting in the time required for that then you need to start. 🥵⁠
