A friend of Roger’s, Leigh Peele, put together a zombie cardio challenge that went something like this (and you can see Roger accomplish in the video above):
- Drop on the ground to avoid friendly shotgun fire — 10 reps
- Alternating head smashes — 20 reps
- Pushing a getaway vehicle that ran out of petrol — two minutes
- You’re on fire! — 60 second rolls
- Chain link fence climbs — three rows
- Sprinting — 60 seconds
- Sledgehammer decapitations — 10 reps
- Alternating “chainsaw won’t start” pulls — 20 reps
- “My foot is half eaten” crawls — 60 yards
This routine demonstrates a couple of important things: you can create an exercise out of most anything, and adding a narrative to your workout routine makes it a little more fun. It’s why apps like Zombies, Run! are effective — there’s a story behind why you’re exercising. While you’re probably not going to be pushing a stalled vehicle right out of the gate, when planning your exercise routine it’s worth considering a fun story to include with it. Running, lifting and other traditional activities can get a little redundant, but you can breathe new life into the same old thing with a story.
