Movie Theme Workout: \”Zombieland\”

If you\’ve never watched \”Zombieland\” you are MISSING OUT!  If you knew anything about me you\’d understand my appreciation for a humorous creature feature.  Blood, gore, action, humor, romance, epic one-liners, and a RULE BOOK ON HOW TO SURVIVE…  I gotta be honest, I was close to picking \”Shaun of the Dead\” but the \”Survival Rules\” won me over.

Now…I\’m not here to type a movie review.  I\’m writing this blog to give you a quick overview of what to expect when you do the Movie Theme Workout:  \”Zombieland\”.

The entire workout is made up of \”Rules for Surviving Zombieland\”.

Rule #1: Cardio

Gotta have good cardio to survive!  Run from cone to cone spaced about 15 yards apart and perform 10 jumping jacks at each cone.  Continue for 5 minutes as a base warm-up.

Rule #18: Limber up

You don\’t want to pull anything.  Perform 5 minutes of a dynamic warm-up before engaging in any strenuous activity.

Rule #8: Get a KICKASS partner

Pretty self-explanatory…  Pick a partner and make sure they are KICKASS!

Rule #4: Seatbelts

Wear\’em!  Switch-off wearing a tow strap and running 20yds \”resist and release\” drills with your KICKASS partner for 10 minutes.

Rule #32: Enjoy the little things

Rest…briefly.  It\’s a WORKOUT not a HANGOUT.  Take a knee, grab a sip of water, and lets get back to it!

Rule #3: Beware of bathrooms

The park bathrooms are next to the benches, tables, slides, and swing sets.  Perform the following within 5 minutes:

10 Touchdown Squat Jumps

10 Feet-Up Push-Ups

10 Burpees

10 Dips

10 Seated Knee Tucks

2 Rounds

Rule #32:  Enjoy the little things (again, a quick breather)

Rule #20: It\’s a marathon, not a sprint…unless it\’s a sprint, then sprint!

Be ready to sprint at ALL times. Practice your \”get-up and go\” for 50yds on :30 for 12 reps.

Rule #32: Enjoy the little things…

ZOMBIE KILL OF THE WEEK!!  To survive your enemy you need to know your enemy…

10yds Zombie Komodo Crawl

10yds Side Sit (left)

10yds Side Sit (right)

10yds Zombie Crawl

10yds Seated Reverse Slide

Rule #2: Double tap

Haha!  Do the \”Zombie Kill of the Week\” AGAIN and make sure you\’re DEAD, dead.

Rule #32: … … (sheesh)

Rule #5: No attachment

No getting too close to your partner.  Time to break up and be on your own.  Every man (or woman) for themself.

Rule #22: When in doubt, know your way out

Plan your escape route before entering the dangerous zombie infected area… Play \”Zombie Tag\” with all the other survivors until you have nothing left.

Rule #17:  Don\’t Be a hero

Congratulations!  You have survived Zombieland, saved the day, and got the girl (or guy).

If you haven\’t seen the move yet…WATCH IT!  \”But i don\’t like scary movies…\”  It\’s not a scary movie.  Watch it. appreciate it.  Learn the rules.  Come out this week and LIVE IT, it\’ll be fun!
