Exercise selection is an integral part of the design process; however, there is no single exercise that should or must be used. Exercises are tools that we use to achieve specific objectives, accommodate specific constraints, and address specific needs and wants. Beginning with the WHY in mind, choosing from a series of appropriate options can make it much easier to create workouts and program that meet fire fighters’ needs. This hands-on workshop will outline a framework to build a ‘movement vocabulary’ by choosing exercises that challenge specific positions, motions, and patterns using a range of demands. Come willing to move!
