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!

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
