Last week HALO Corp announced they were going to be training military and police for the “possibility” (in my mind inevitable) of a “swollen brain, a raging fever, makes you hateful and violent and leaves you with a really bad case of the munchies” outbreak. Believe me, my friends, it is coming. You know some scientist is already tampering with it for kicks and giggles and it’s only a matter of time before that super virus gets loose.
Rule #1: Cardio. This topic I will be covering today. My big Zombie Race is 7 weeks from this Saturday, and I am already in the process of getting apocolypse strong AKA I am sore as hell. I feel like I can say that, because I have put in the work and I knwo it’s going to pay off but man, it hurts. So, here’s the exercise program breakdown. I am mixing a 10K training program with my P90X that I am already used to. This will build up my major muscle groups as well as get me ready to outrun the zombies that will be dashing at me during the race. I aim to have all 3 flags intact at the end of this race, you guys.

Also, I throw in Ab Ripper X 3 times a week to strengthen the core muscles. I have lost 3 pounds already, but looking to gain some muscle back, as well. Once Halloween rolls around, I will be one buffed up mamma jamma! And hopefully won’t look like this…
I am hoping to reach out to people who will be attending the Run for Your Lives Race in Florida on November17. If you know anyone, send them a link to the blog.
