The Zombie Apocalypse has finally happened. What fitness abilities will help you the most to survive the zombie hordes and get to safety?

Rules:
1) Starting out, you don't have anything except the clothes on your back.You must search for everything.
2) You must escape a city environment. Also, you're in the exact middle of the city.
3) The zombies are 'classic zombies', not the gay ass running zombies.
4) You are 100 miles away from any form of safety (ie military bases, remote mountainside retreat, etc).

Pic related: Some other drawfag made this a while ago, not OP.

I can sprint real fast... and I guess I can jump pretty high. If need be, I guess I could just run real fast and jump and use my body weight to fall into a kick at them?

Run speed and endurance is the only thing you need.

I can blink really fast.

I think climbing will save your ass a lot from zombies, so powerful lats will come into play. Maybe a mixture of sprinting ability to get out of tight spots, running for relatively long periods of time to cover distance, and maybe holding one position for a very long time, like crouching in a small place to hide.

I can run pretty well, I have enough upper body strength to climb almost anything.

I would just SQUATZ myself to safety.

fitness is great..but u also need mental fitness to keep calm and figure out how to survive..

Fuck you guys, I'll just sit on my ass with my 12 gauge and a bag of big macs.

I concur, mental focus is paramount.

Parkour abilities will save your life, and also you're going to need to defend yourself sometimes. That means like picking up a re-bar or a baseball bat, which means swinging and hitting power, which means having a highly developed trunk musculature for power.

This is easy. I can outsprint a zombie for damn sure, I am lightweight and can run climb to higher ground with ease or run/jump on rooftops if necessary. Given my greater mobility, I can find a sword or crowbar in any city (easier than finding a gun) and I know how to hotwire a motorcycle to escape the city.
In this case of survival, my only real competition would be other /fit/ survivors.

Decaying meat rots quick. I will parkour my way on top of a tall building, and just camp there a week with some food and water.
During the days, i could take a shit on the zombies, watch them sleep, if they do, watch them cannibalize, watch them collapse and rot.
Then, enjoying being alone.

First, I'd gather together as many survivors as I could find. Then, we'd travel in a pack. I'd make it clear to them if you can't keep up, you're getting left behind. We'd arm ourselves with whatever weapons we could find, but I'd try to navigate to a gun store if I knew the area. I think everyone that would survive would be strong enough to chop off a zombies neck, but so big that they'll get tired. I'm thinking anyone over 225 lbs is going to get fatigued or try to take on too many zombies and die.

Join a motorcycle gang now, that way when shit hits the fan, you'll be surrounded by tough motherfuckers. You'll be highly mobile, fast, get great gas mileage, and will probably be armed to the teeth with shotguns, because that's how biker gangs roll. When you're trying to secure supplies and if some uppity survivors are trying to get the same things you are, you can always kill them, b/c they're not in your gang. Motorcycle raiders for the motherfucking win.

Big fat bikers = zombie food source.

Aside from riding loud, heavy bikes, a group of people would attract a lot of hungry zombies (think lions and gazelles). While they're busy fighting hordes of zombies attracted to their delicious and abundant flesh, I'll be flying down the highway to safety on my in-line triple.

1. Go to your local jail.
2. Let out patrons and explain situation.
3. Create army out of motherfuckers who are tough, don't care about shit, and are expendable.
4. You're in a fortress with all required facilities.
5. If worst comes to worst, each person can lock themselves in a cell with food.

Sprinting fast is useless, you walk faster than them anyway. What you need is stamina. Oh, and engaging a zombie in melee combat is a futile and extremely dangerous exercise I wouldn't recommend.

>>166493

No, you also need a plan, a shelter, weapons, transportation, and a group.

>>166499

Yes. And you need to keep yourself from getting bored.

>>166503

12 gauge is not the ideal weapon if you're planning on making a stand against hundreds of zombies. In fact, trying to withstand such a siege by just sitting on your ass and eating your Big Macs is a guaranteed way to get yourself killed.

>>166527

Zombies rot much more slowly than regular dead meat. And they increase their numbers, too.

I've always wondered how street gangs would fare against a zombie attack. They're dumb as shit but some have access to heavy weaponry.
>> Trevor !!qsVpFXaydzm
1. Use the nuclear weapons we have against the zombies.
2. Hide in bunkers until the zombies are either blown up, burned up, or irradiated.
3. Use their remains as fertilizer to grow food.
4. ????
5. profit

So what sports does /fit/ think will prepare one best for an event like a zombie apocalypse?
>> Anonymous
my picks would be soccer for endurance/running
boxing to learn how to strike properly
wrestling for learning how to grapple properly
and competition shooting to learn how to properly wield various firearms

I think American football is the way to go. You run a lot (in high school football at least), you learn how to hit people quickly and move, you learn how to avoid being hit, and you you get strong from the weight training. Soccer is just gay, so is basketball.
>> LITTLE BUSTERS !!cYRK7ZeKVyk
Track and field. Martial arts won't do shit against an enemy that's already dead, can easily infect you, and outnumbers you.

Soccer is gay, it's an inferior sport compared to football.

Sprinting is important if you're facing a horde that can surround you if you're too slow.

Climbing and climbing quickly can also be important, as well as stamina.

Answer: Parkour and Track and Field.

actually id say the best sport for developing overall athletisicm is either wrestling or gymnastics

Anything baseball related, unless you're a pitcher. You need to be able to run fast and hit with power and precision.

You need to be physically powerful, that's for sure. Probably through squatz, HIIT, deadliftz, and pull-upz. Once you can bull your way thru a zombie crowd, you need to find a Hummer. That way you roll over every fucking zombie. When you find a gun store, get inside, grab all the guns and load em up. That takes stamina to carry all the weaponry. Then you need to drive around and look for a motorcycle. Once you find that, you need to Olympic clean and jerk it into the trunk. Once you make your way out of the city and its safe, you load up all your guns into your pack, hop on yo choppa, and join a motorcycle gang. That way you can raid on unsuspecting civilians, shoot zombies for fun, and take pretty much whatever you want.

While endurance would definitely be the most important element, you cover large distances (especially with a pack and gear) by walking. Running for distance, unless you're a seasoned Ultrarunner, wouldn't do you any good except waste precious energy. Beyond the ability to cover a 5k in around 18 to 20 minutes, specific muscular endurance (lifting for long periods of time, constantly moving, climbing) and the mental constitution to continue are paramount.

Farmers use nuclear energy to grow their crops faster, don't you know this? We've been doing that since 1983. The radiation and certain wavelengths help stimulate germination and growth depending on the plant. A crop that's greatly influenced by this energy is corn, which is also another reason why corn is so popular right now. I recomend that you look it up on wikipedia.

Finally a situation where having trained parkour for four years might be useful, no harm in knowing your city better than most either. Located in a city with a harbor and islands within swimming distance, my plan would be to make my way there while gathering basic survival shit like fishing equipment etc.

I would recommend becoming a cardio machine, so you can create a lot of distance between you and Zack. Also, a very strong upper back and shoulders would be necessary for climbing. Hopefully your bf% would be within the 10-15 range, so you can have a little extra energy compared to lower bf levels.

Fair enough, but it only really matters if you have to get up a horizontal face, in which case why the hell are you trying to climb something that complicated when you could just be running away from the zombies?
>> Anonymous
>>167980

Your back and grip matter at all times when climbing, not just on horizontal surfaces. You're not climbing up with only your feet, and likewise, you're not pulling yourself up only with your hands.
