I can not believe someone hasn't monetized this already!

They have, pretty much every paintball & airsoft location in the country does it, just tends to get very expensive when that lil snot nosed brat from the 13th birthday party gets a little too wide......

But yeah, I second the one which reminds you of the first rule of Zombieland, can't be overstated enough!

They already have! Just Google Zombie Bootcamps or Zombie Survival Training to find several events held around the UK. They're absolutely great fun! We usually enter an event in October

I was having this conversation with my son last night - I'm working on my cycling (I've even got panniers to keep my [STRIKE]stockpile of supplies[/STRIKE] shopping in). I think you'd need to be able to do pull-ups too.

There are a couple of running apps that have a zombie soundtrack ("zombies, run"is one of them) - I'm rubbish at running though so haven't tried any.

Sadly the induction didn't quite go as planned, as the instructor had no sense of humour and just gave me a blank stare when I told her what I wanted. She came up with stuff that made both my neck and lower back scream (dodgy discs all round) and I barely broke a sweat, so I'm going to design my own programme, based on what we've discussed here

Did you see any bite marks on her ...
Sounds like she is in the early stages of transition...It is a pretty well known fact ...Zombies have no sense of humour and are never up for the crack ...
From now on ..my advice ..see this one as a future enemy ..:D..Train harder ..She would be a super fit zombie :eek:

Oh that looks so much fun Once I'm fitter I'll definitely do it!

Sorry for getting into this thread late but avoid boxing based martial arts, unless you plan on "removing the head or destroying the brain" (thank you Shaun of the Dead) you won't stop them and risk catching their teeth on your skin and turning.

Much better to focus on your cardio and if you want to learn a martial art focus on grappling/wrestling and focus on speed and keeping their teeth away from you.

I imagine freerunning and urban climbing would help a lot as well

This thread has made my day

The ability to hop over gates and fences would be good too as you need the ability to escape! How about MMA? Then you can learn a variety of skills and it is incredibly good for getting fit.

How are you getting on in your fitness quest?
