With the temperature rising on the planet every year with record highs broken on a regular basis, one must learn to adapt doing strenuous tasks in the heat to survive. Most people can’t do what they normally can in extreme heat.
There is a myth that seniors start moving slow in their 60s and 70s. I call it a myth because as long as you are moving often, you never really slow down. Slowing down is the biggest cause of health issues and balance issues. Can seniors do parkour? The answer is absolutely!
When I can’t get to a proper gym, here is what I do at home. You should have a pull up bar and some dumbbells for these. These are not going to get you bigger. It will focus on strength, power and endurance.
This sounds nearly impossible, but it is possible. You should be able to do at least a few pushups before starting this.
Hands down, parkour/free running. Rock climbing doesn’t build the stamina and endurance you need to escape a bad situation.
This exercise should be incorporated every time you work out at the gym along with core. This is where you carry equal amount of weight in both hands (like a kettlebell or dumbbell) and walk some distance. Why is this exercise so good?
Here is a program you can start to get you to run a mile in under 10 minutes in about 8 weeks. It’s simple. Try to run a mile.
Indoor rock climbing can be a lot of fun. You can climb boulders, top rope, and lead in indoor gyms. What are the benefits?
As a survivalist, if you don’t have endurance or the ability to run, your chances of survival are reduced significantly. Running seems to be an activity that most people avoid. As a matter of fact, less than a tenth of the global population run, and the U.S. happens to have the most runners at about 15% of which more than half are women. Some countries have less than 1% of the population that run.
Absolutely! You don’t need to be able to run a half marathon or a marathon. You just need to be able to run to escape. Running has other benefits. One of the key things to prepare for survival is being healthy. Over 40% of the US population is obese. And I am not talking about BMI slightly over 24 (I am not a fan of BMI) but significantly over. And many of those obese people are on prescription drugs.
