When the undead start coming, the living start running.
Yes, you can easily outrun a zombie … as long as you aren’t one too. So that hair trigger should include a fast twitch of the muscles when you hear the word “brainzzzz.”
ZombieFit, an exercise class in St. Charles, Illinois, is designed to prepare you in this way. Instructor Jesse Randall trains the uninitiated in a series of parkour maneuvers (so NINJA!) that include climbing, hurdling, free falling and breaking away. You can see how useful this will be when the gobblin’ mob is in pursuit. Once you’re fully surrounded, all the automatic weapons in the world won’t help.
I’m going to add this to my workout when I am in New York. One of my pals in the ZIA is preparing the training, even as I write. You should consider these moves as well. Pull-ups, bench dips, air squats, leaps—when a zombie apocalypse is at hand, don’t meet it lying down.
