Physical fitness is a seriously neglected part of survival preparedness. As the meme goes, if you invest all your money into high end guns, armor, mres, etc... and zero into basic physical fitness, you're just a walking loot drop.
Now my question is, how do other kiwis maintain their bodies? Especially if you have a physical disability or medical condition? I have chronic back pain myself and although I can still ruck 12 miles if needed, it'll definitely be uncomfortable for a week. I like to do a balanced workout plan that incorporates strength, cardio, endurance, and agility all in the same day.
For instance, every morning I do calisthenics followed by a short run (100 of Push-ups, flutter kicks, variant push-ups, squats, and modified pullups; around 2 miles running). In the evening, I do my gym workout consisting of 3 sets of strength lifts, an endurance circuit, and then more cardio. Cardio is also varied, from combatives to bike rides, to stairs, and functional training.
