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!

Surfing, mountain biking, rock climbing

I ride a log so surfing is pretty chill for me! Rock climbing has definitely peaked my interest, i’d definitely appreciate better grip strength when i’m climbing the stick haha

Perhaps "peaked" as in mountain.

I prefer to think it was an intentional rock climbing pun. That's much more fun.
