In this video I discuss zombie apocalypse training. How would you train for a hypothetical zombie apocalypse or alien invasion? Should you find yourself in that situation, which skills and abilities would serve you best and increase your chances of survival?
I think having a 'reason' to train is always a good idea - otherwise it is technically 'exercise' and not 'training'. But if you're not an athlete or a member of the special forces, what is there to train 'for'? One option is a hypothetical scenario like zombie apocalypse!
Training in all modalities doesn't quite work due to something called the interference principle. But if you pick the right complementary training styles, you can emerge an all-rounder with a great chance of survival. Let the discussion commence below!

I think training for the show American Ninja Warrior combines all these aspects really nicely into one specific goal. Balance, speed, cardio, agility, grip strength, upper body endurance, explosiveness, and functional strength are all trained. That plus parkour and martial arts is mainly how I train.

Funny, I “run” 2-6 miles almost daily on a hill and parkour off walls, banks, and whatever looks fun to jump or flip over, as well as jump up and climb several trees on my path. It’s mostly training for fencing, so it’s lots of footwork and changing movements with slow control to explosive lunges and jumps. It seems to help with surfing, snowboarding, and downhill mountain biking as well. Probably climbing trees is some of the best now that I can flip out of trees and cork off trees as well now.

In your example of swimmers on average having a lower jump heigth you didn't mention how in swimming body types with shorter limbs and larger torsos are favored for effectivity, versus jump heigth is easier for body types with smaller torsos and longer limbs so you can't completely blame it on their specificity

I think archery training would be more useful than firearms training. One, because it would be quieter, allowing you to pick them off without drawing too much attention; and two, because it's more likely you can fashion a workable bow with found materials than you would a gun. Also with martial arts, I bet one of the benefits would be, since you train balance, being able to hide quietly in an awkward space, while holding an awkward position.

Belle. As we learned from Dying Light, parkour skills are essential in a zombie apocalypse. Doesn't matter good your kung fu is; you will eventually get overwhelmed by the numbers if you can't escape and get to higher ground. Pretty sure Bruce Lee could do that too, but... Belle's is the more crucial specialization.

Loaded Endurance - Train to ruck and run far and fast. Functional Strength - Train to be efficient at lifting equipment & gear of odd shapes and sizes, and be able to drag and fire carry people. Tactical Mobility - Train to be able to easily over and through urban, uneven, and rugged terrain. Grip Strength - Train to carry gear in your hands, climb ropes, building and boulders, grab things and be capable at grappling with people. Water Skills - You'll need to retrieve water, cross large bodies of water or escape non-swimmer type zombies, so train your rescue swimming just in case.

I agree with you. Running helps in so many things, but you need a well rounded set of skills to keep going in most any circumstances. And I always go for martial arts because you can basically train crossfit on the side of martial arts and improve in all the physical things at a regular pace. Martial arts has the physical side and the mental side, and to be strong in any place and time, or ready for any thing you need to be capable and willing in the body and the mind.

the most underestimated thing about zombie apocalypse, is intel about zombies. what are they, what they can do, how dangerous they are in urban area ? can they jump ? can they move like a human ? because of they are like humans, they can climb, sprint. maybe you gonna find some zombie of endurance runner. then you are screwed. best endurance runners are able run ultramaratons without rest or 42km maraton in 2,5 hours. record is around 2 hours. if you meet bodybuilder zombie ? they gonna be less likey to exist, more muscle, more energy required. therefore he is cannibal or there are some people alive around that area. if you know your enemy, you can use best weapon. tactics.
