Zombie Fit

We need one of these in Ireland:

Survival Workout

1 Climb
Zombies aren’t very spry, so climbing over barriers is a key evasive maneuver. Practice on a wall that’s a little taller than you.
Extra training: Pull-ups, bench dips
Muscles worked: Core, triceps, deltoids

2 Free Fall
Jumping off a roof may provide temporary respite, but break a leg on landing and you’re dinner. Cushion the impact by extending your legs and touching down on the balls of your feet. Then get up and make tracks.
Extra training: Toe raises
Muscles worked: Calves, hamstrings

3 Hurdle
Run at a sturdy obstacle—park bench, subway turnstile, picnic table. Dive forward, placing both hands on the object, and swing your legs up to your chest. The momentum will propel you over.
Extra training: Air squats, push-ups, sit-ups
Muscles worked: Pecs, delts, quads

4 Breakaway
“Extricating yourself from a zombie’s grasp uses every muscle in your body,” says Rich Gatz of ZombieFit. Practice by lifting and tossing a big object like a tractor tire.
Extra training: Resistance running, weighted pull-ups and push-ups
Muscles worked: Lats, core, hamstrings

Lol, News report sponsered by McDonald's. :rolleyes: Americans.

I can't get over how many adds they had in that 6 minute report I don't know how anyone could watch TV in America?



Pakour would be a definitely bonus, don't know how useful it is in the country but I'm sure it wouldn't be a bad skill to have under your belt for quick scavenging hunts into populated areas.

I've finally been able to start my fitness program, I had bought loads of equipment years ago but had them in storage because I couldn't fit them in my apartment, no such problems in the new place. But man I'm so unfit.

Been readin' bout that the last couple days. Neat ideas.... but there's no f'ing way I'm gonna try some of that stuff. I really like the workout idea tho. I'm a bit too sedentary but otherwise not in terrible shape.

The idea is grand - and may motivate me to exercise a bit more. Just need to get my version worked out. Have used the Hackers Diet in the past and it works well.

I'm not surprised pakour is very difficult (martial art), I seen how they train and it involves hours of jumping up on a wall resetting and doing it again. In the beginning it's very tedious from what I've seen. It does turn you into spiderman though what you can get your body to do is amazing just takes months and months of hard work.

I'm just going to build up my arms to make my striking deadly.

There's pakour all over Ireland I'm pretty sure there's people in Galway doing it, don't know how professionally they are about their training though.
