Goals of ZombieFit
by rich on Sep.24, 2009, under Fitness
Here are ZombieFit’s current goals:
1) Start a weekly weekend training session teaching the basics of parkour with a short parkour based functional fitness (metabolic conditioning) workout afterwards;
2) Sponsor weekly gym sessions that will allow people to practice movements in a non-urban environment, followed by a short ZombieFit conditioning workout afterwards;
3) Increase our knowledge of parkour so as to demonstrate respect for the community and their students and coaches;
4) Increase awareness for parkour in society in general, dispelling some of the rumors and myths concerning these activities;
5) Post a Workout of the Day specifically for parkour based functional fitness; and
6) Achieve a large enough following and clientele base to open a full-time parkour themed gym in the Chicago/Chicagoland area.

What is functional fitness? We think it is the ability to perform any given task, at anytime, quickly and efficiently. Functional fitness and situational awareness are necessary skills that are lacking in today's society. ZombieFit hopes to change that.
What if you woke up tomorrow to find your city overridden with zombies, would you survive? This may seem childish, but by preparing for the impossible, you'll be ready for the improbable.
The keys to surviving Z-day are simple: Be able to lift and throw heavy things, run fast and for long distances, and be able to navigate obstacles and urban environments in an efficient manner. By following the ZombieFit WODs (workout of the day) and practicing parkour, you will achieve increased fitness through the performance of functional movements at high intensity and find within yourself the internal discipline and mental fortitude necessary to become a traceur.
Our goal is to be instructive in functional fitness and the parkour ideology. We sincerely hope you learn something from this site. Whether you need zombies to motivate you, or just want a good workout/place to learn parkour, we'll be able to help.You can also subscribe by email by filling the field below:
