    Hi all - I had a baby about a month ago, and now that we've chosen a pediatrician and got the nursery in working order, obviously it is now time to plan for invasions of the undead.

    My first step is clearly to lose the excess weight left over from pregnancy, because whether we end up in a vehicle or an on-foot scenario, the task of carrying the baby will be left to me as my boyfriend will need to drive (I don't) or decapitate things (I tend not to). The cats will have to pull their own weight; I'm not that worried.

    I've been considering getting a Wii console & some exercise games; anyone wanna start a business venture with me wherein we make an interactive zombie-attack-based fitness program? (C'mon, you know you'd buy the 28 Days Later Shred.)

    I have almost finished my masters in comp science, but I know mostly stand alone software stuff (java, perl, etc. ). My wife has told me a couple times that I should make facebook games. Your idea sounds like a lot of fun.

    i lurve anythng to do with zombies! my daughter and i are big fans and have watched all the movies -28 days/weeks later, zombieland, the walking dead series, all resident evil, shaun of the dead the list goes on and on. also fan of anything supernatural, ghosts, vampires, werewolves etc (sad i know especially at my age lol)
    with regards to surviving i'm pretty strong up top but think the running might let me down, also scared of heights which probably not good either. hoping adrenalin will kick in and i will be awesome whatever happens!!!!

    A fear of heights isn't a major disadvantage to surviving the zompocalypse. If the zombies are the slow shuffling type of Romero's "Dead" series then top speed isn't too important. Top speed is only important for dealing with the "not exactly dead but infected" of 28 Days or Res Evil.

    Overall stamina is more important along with upper body strength. You may need to be able to swing that baseball bat or machete for a long time.

    The ideal training programme to survive the zompocalypse would focus on long distance running (5km - 3 miles, or more) mingled with strength training concentrating a lot on the upper body.

    In all seriousness; while the zompocalypse might give us something to focus on for the purpose of our fitness consider this:

    It also prepares us for any other disaster/major emergency. This thought struck me this evening while at a concert. While waiting for the band to appear on stage I started looking for the exits (just killing time I started thinking "how would I get out of here if the zompocalypse happened right now?")

    But how does thinking like this help? It makes us more aware of our surroundings. While I may have been thinking on how to get out of the venue if the zompocalypse occurred it meant that I was also conscious of the exits if a fire broke out and what obstacles were in my path if I had to get to those exits.

    So the next time all you zombie fans are in an strange area just think "how would I escape the zombies" and you will be ready for anything that may happen.


    Keep training for the zompocalypse fellow zombie fans and you will be prepared for anything. :smile:

    Tango I can only agree with you, I think things like this can save our lives one day! But hopefully none of us will get into any bad situation of this sort!

    The rules for surviving Zombieland:
    1. Cardio
    18. Limber up

    I'm a total Zompocalypse addict. A guy in work is always asking me if I have any movies in my DVD collection that don't have Zombie or Dead in the title :laugh:

    Spennato: All the nasty strains of influenza (Swine Flu/Avian Flu etc) are just one mutation away from The Zompocalypse :laugh:

    I'm working my way up to getting back in shape. But when the Zompocalypse comes, I will be ready. :glasses:

    Zombieland rules! I LOVE that movie:laugh:

    Hello everyone!

    Im slowly approaching my goal weight, but I have realized (yes, while watching Resident Evil) that I am so out of shape - and that I would not last a minute during an attack of ZOMBIES.
    That is why this club would support everyone who is getting ready and in shape for such an attack. Our main goals would be:

    a) run fast and long enough to run away from the zombies
    b) be able to hit the zombie with a heavy object

    Lets imagine only the situations when we rely only on our body for help (so, we dont have a flamethrower for example).

    Right now I can slowly jog for max. 7 minutes at a time and I can lift very little (I dont think zombie heads would get smashed by a milk box). I am so out of shape, that its amazing.
    I bought a membership in a gym and I will go there 3x per week, to run and to do weight lifting.
    I want to have some strength and have some speed! I expect to be ready for a zombie attack by the end of the year 2011.

    If you are already ready for a zombie attack, please share with us how you have managed to get so much in shape!
    You shouldn't have to train very hard to outrun the Resident Evil zombies but if you take on the Walking Dead zombies you will need a very vigorous program!

    I may be crazy but... I just created an Insanity/NROL hybrid program that Smersh and I are going to attempt starting July 5th. We're calling it: NROWFIZS (New Rules of Workout for Insane Zombie Survival). After each NROL stage, is a week's rest at maintenance calories where we study survival practices, but don't "workout". LOL.

    Anyone interested in seeing the schedule? https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArfRqP97R5DsdG9pY3BLRm5MVmRzUkgyTWFxNUMtM3c&hl=en_US&authkey=CPnY358G

    This past weekend I was zombie hunting in Chicago-land at many various restaurants, a residential bbq, etc. I obtained a lot of information from friendlies there, the wife has many connections, but no sitings. The weekend did produce about a 5 lb gain in the scale, which of course will disappear in the next couple days (if I can stay away from the free chocolate cookies downstairs).

    Running from zombies would be the same as running from a bear... I don't have to outrun the bear, I have to outrun my companion! lol
