Are You Fit Enough to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse?

What if you woke up tomorrow to find your city overridden with zombies, would you survive? This may seem childish, but by preparing for the impossible, you’ll be ready for the improbable.
The keys to surviving Z-day are simple: Be able to lift and throw heavy things, run fast and for long distances, and be able to navigate obstacles and urban environments in an efficient manner. By following the ZombieFit WODs (workout of the day) and practicing parkour, you will achieve increased fitness through the performance of functional movements at high intensity and find within yourself the internal discipline and mental fortitude necessary to become a traceur.
Actually, it’s a serious site, dedicated to the discipline of parkour: the “art of forward motion in spite of obstacles.” But tongue-in-cheek as the title is, “Zombie Fitness” struck me as a pretty good frame for looking at your strength, endurance and agility… and assessing where you may be lacking. If you wouldn’t be able to fend off the advancing, brain-sucking hordes on “Z-Day,” it’s time to get with the program!

I’m too sedentary, so I won’t be able to escape. I’ll just have to play dead and hope they go after the moving targets.

Well, it’s possible we could think our way out of the predicament, too.

That seems to be quite a unique sort of workout. Seems to be geared toward the young and stong. I can’t see the “average middle aged american” being able to do much of it.
Matter of fact most “average americans” hardly seems to be able to get off the couch.
I think I would fair moderately well on “Z-Day”. At least hold my own for a while.
