FIREMANFIT.COM COURSE PLAN

Each of the exercise routines will start with an exercise called planks. You have a front plank and two side planks. If you are starting at level 1 you'll do these moves at the beginning of each of your three sets. If your at level 2, 3 or 4 you'll do the planks at the beginning of the two sets, when you finish your second set take a thirty second rest and do one more set of planks. If you are at level 5 you'll do a set of planks at the beginning and at the end of the set. If you still have some energy left take a thirty second rest and do one more set of planks. The pictures below illustrate the planks. They are static moves, which simply means you hold the position. To start out hold each plank for 15 to 20 seconds. You can add time to them as you get stronger. The levels are listed below. Remember only you will know when you are ready to move up in the levels.

Now we are ready to move on to the exercises. Click on one of the routines on the left side of the page. It doesn't matter which one you start with, just remember to mix it up and don't do the same one the next time.
