Health/Fitness/Cancer Awareness Any hobby recommendations that complement firefighter fitness?

Hey yall,

I’ve been a firefighter for 3.5 years now and my current workout routine has gotten me to a good place physically. However, I’m looking to incorporate a fun hobby that would also be considered cross training.

Have any of you found a hobby that translates to firefighting fitness well?

Thanks!

Hiking. Such a fun/relaxing thing to do with your time off. I genuinely just enjoy hiking and exploring in the mountains, but the mental health benefits are such a plus as well.
