Prepper Fitness and Nutrition #4
Hello again Folks!
I trust we didn't all eat ourselves to death over Christmas and we remembered to drink more water throughout the day. Right?
Well anyways, I was having a great conversation with my beautiful wife about work (her work, she is a Nurse) and she mentioned something about some heavy monitor that took two female nurses to pick up and that got my wheels turning.
LADIES! This one is mostly for you, although MEN can use everything I discuss in their workouts as well.
Today's topic: STRENGTH TRAINING a.k.a Resistance Training
This usually scares most women away, because they see what those female bodybuilders look like and they use the excuse: "I do not want to look like the Lady Hulk!". Trust me YOU WON'T! Those ladies use medical grade supplements and get paid to work out and eat like freaks.
Stregnth training helps prevent Osteoporosis, Cancers, and Heart Disease. Don't believe me check any medical website covering those topics!
So do you have to lift weights? No, unless you prefer to. You can do "bodyweight" exercises like squats, lunges, push ups, pull ups, etc. And with bodyweight exercises, you need NO gym membership and can do them anywhere and can Google the phrase "bodyweight workouts" and find thousands of them.
If you do choose to use weights or powerbands (large rubber tubing with handles on them), make sure you completely understand how to use them. If you are at a gym, ask a trainer (but be ready for their sales pitch). Buddy up: get someone to go with you, and help hold you accountable.
Here are a few total body workouts:
Bodyweight (circuit: perform each exercise for 30 - 60 seconds, then move to the next, until complete, Rest, then repeat the circuit 2-3 times)
- Push ups (can be done from the knees)
- Squats
- Crunches
Weights/Bands (circuit: perform each exercise for 8-10 repititions, then move to the next, until complete, Rest, then repeat the circuit 2-3 times)
- Bench Press (push ups if you are using the PowerBands)
- Squat
- Pull Up (pull down with band anchored to a door while sitting on the floor)
- Weighted Crunch (with band still anchored to the door, kneel facing away from the door, hold the handles over your shoulders and bend at the waist crunching in a downward motion)
Folks all it really takes is you to get out of your way. Make a plan and then stick with it.
If you have a medical condition or previous injury please ask your doctor for alternate exercises to put less stress on your condition. And as with any exercise regimen, always speak with your doctor prior to starting any program.
This week's SuperFood: Spinach
There is a reason Popeye ate it. It does amazing things for your body. It is a nutrient dense, low calorie food packed full of phytochemicals that make your bodies cells work like they are suppose to. I like it raw, because cooking it wastes a lot of nutrients.

Anyways, that's all for this week. If you have anyquestions or comments please feel free to leave them.
Take care!

Fitness and Nutrition #3
So after my technical difficulties I am back. I had a small fire in my garage and had to get rid of the bulk of my fitness equipment. This also jacked up my cable and internet. Grrrrr!
Anyways, I made it through and all is well. On to the weekly topic.
CARDIO....most folks hate hearing this word, yes even the usual gym rats dislike this word. I bring this topic up because I watched the most recent doomsday prepper show, which was 3 different New York City preppers' escape from the city. 1 young lady did the 13 plus mile trek on foot with her B.O.B. on her back. Another gentlemen did the same, but he met his family at a rendezous point in the outer part of the city. And another gentlemen tried the trek on foot, but quickly decided to switch to a stolen bike, then paddled his inflatable canoe across the river to New Jersey.
What's my point here? CARDIO WAS THE KEY!
I mentioned this before, you must practice footmarching with your B.O.B. or when the time comes to actually do it your adrenaline will get you to a point where you are in trouble.
So what does practicing this, help you determine?
- Your current physical state. Maybe a mountain bike should be on your bugout checklist.
- How does this method of bugging out effect your hydration plan?
- Footwear. Combat boots may not be your new footwear of choice during a bugout situation.
- Foot care. What to do when your feet start breaking down. Great site for footcare kits: http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/ I used to run ultramarathons, foot care is critical!
- Fuel. When your bugging out on foot, water is important, but you also need to eat. Practice eating while footmarching or you could look into the fuel gels like GU, or CliffShots.
- Comfort of your B.O.B. It may not be as comfortable after 2 to 10 miles.
Lots of variables come into play when your bugout vehicle is Tango Uniform, so make sure your prepare for that scenario just like we do for every other scenario. The bike is a great back up vehicle, but you must practice that as well.
Hope everyone is doing well and please feel free to leave comments or questions. Let me know what fitness preps you are up to.
Until next time.

Interesting Article fixing school violence
http://www.policeone.com/active-shooter/articles/2058168-Active-shooters-in-schools-The-enemy-is-denial
This is spot on assessment and solution of how to handle mass shootings in schools. Schools are Soft Targets (little to No defense) and are preferred targets of criminals and terrorists around the world. Remember the school attack in Beslan, Russia. Osama bin Laden said that the Beslan attack was a rehearsal for nation wide attacks to come to the US. He also said, that western children are "noble" targets. Time to arm teachers like they do in Israel or have a small armed security force at every school in America. That is how you fix this problem. You don't take away the guns of law-abiding citizens, as that will only cause the crime rate to skyrocket!

Nuclear Weapons Effects- tomorrow
Due to extreme Home Cookie Making in my house, I am postponing this post until tomorrow. It was a hard decision, but cookies with the girls rules out!
