Stage 1 combines:
- The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess by Lou Schuler; Cassandra Forsythe, Ph.D., R.D; & Alwyn Cosgrove
- Insanity with Shaun T.
- A thorough study of the The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks
- Practical field studies in Disaster Preparedness & Survival Skills
It's going to be a rigorous combination of Weight Lifting and Cardio. The hybrid program is 7 months (220 days) long and follows the schedule laid out on the Schedule page.
Stage 2 combines:
- ZombieFit's Workout of the Day - Functional fitness utilizing Parkour. "Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment."
- The New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle by Lou Schuler & Alwyn Cosgrove
- A thorough study of The Zombie Combat Manual: A Guide to Fighting the Living Dead by Roger Ma
- Possibly some Krav Maga classes, if we can find a good school.
- Practical field studies in Disaster Preparedness & Survival Skills
p.s. No, we're not actually expecting a Zombie Apocalypse... but why not be prepared? As the CDC says "If you're ready for a zombie apocalypse, you're ready for any emergency."
Stage 3 will be a stop gap for Kate & Scott to bring us to a January 1st start date at which point we will start...
Stage 4, which will be a 365 day program utilizing Insanity, the NROL (original), and ZombieFit's Parkour WoD.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
NROWFIZS is not just for Kate & Scott. Anyone can use this program to increase their physical Zombie Survival skills.
If you can't afford the Insanity video set for the cardio portions of Stage 1; substitute high intensity interval training (HIIT), metabolic resistance training (MRT), high impact aerobics via Hulu or TV on Demand or jump straight to the ZombieFit Parkour WoD.
The Fit Test check list is available here if you're doing alternate cardio.
If you don't have access to free weights for the strength portion; try to find a used set (if you have room to store them), join the local YMCA (rates may be based on income), use resistance bands, or substitute bodyweight exercises (create a full body routine).
If you create a blog to track your own journey with NROWFIZS (or your own variation). We'll happily link to your blog from this one. Just send Kate an email.
