Zombie Fitness Friday: I ain't gonna get et

10 mins after it starts, I join the horde
Recently I came across a local zombie survival game, where you are put into a real life situation where the zombie apocalypse has happened. You are a survivor and, armed with Nerf guns and your own wits, you have to run and fight to defeat the zombies (played by volunteers). The event happens within the town itself, so there's a definite element of realism. It sounds amazing, and I geared myself up to take part.

Then I realised - I wouldn't last 5 minutes in that thing, let alone a real zombie outbreak. I'm 210 pounds and I'm seriously unfit. I'd be one of the first to get eaten.

With this rather weird wake up call, I decided that I would make this annual event my ultimate fitness goal:

Get fit and get in shape enough to outrun and kick zombie asses in next year's game.


That is my vow, and I decree it to the entire world through the Internet (I'm probably setting myself up for a fall here). I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to go about doing this zombie fitness program, but I'll be keeping updates on here every Friday - Zombie Fitness Friday!

In my search for information I came across Am I Zombie Fit?, a program with similar goals to my own. It's good to find companionship in this zombie infested world we live in.

Do you have any zombie survival fitness tips that I could use?

  1. Hang out with people more unfit than you. That way you don't have to out run the zombie's, you only have to outrun them.

  2. I was trying to think of something helpful, but I think Mood has sussed it. Survival of the fittest, (or of the least unfit, anyway!).

  3. Practice tripping your friends or those more fit. XD Good luck with this! Hehe!

  4. Keep a bag of squirrels on you at all times. Zombies love the nutty taste, and most of them are suckers for squirrel-tail boas.

  5. That's funny! Like they said in Zombieland, the fatties get eaten first, so it's all about the cardio.
    I'm all about the double-tap.
    And Will, are chipmunks close enough?

  7. Haha! I was thinking of doing something similar. Because if the zombie apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, I'd be screwed.

  8. Hi! Thanks for the mention! Feeling particularly unfit today as Pringles were on special offer and now they are all gone. Pringles are the enemy of the zombie fitness freak! The game sounds ace! I want to have a go!
