[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2353540, member: 42"] +1. The "Zombie" thing is just a good vehicle/motivator to do common sense stuff that you should be doing anyway. One thing I'm learning in regards to fitness is the importance of including your kids. We/I tend to assume that kids have some natural level of fitness, which is true but it has a shelf life. I took my kids on a 5-6 mile rock scrambling hike through the Charon's Gardens Wilderness Area this weekend. They all did well, but there was a noticable difference: My 7 year old, who participates in no organized sports yet, made the entire trip without complaint and took turns on the one "kids pack" the three of them had to share. The 10 year old, who participates in competitive gymnastics 3 times a week including lengthy conditioning sessions, started to short out on the return trip. The 13 year old, who does powerlifting/boxing twice a week, was smoked by the time we crested our first hill on the way [I]in[/I]. That's a good, unscientific case study for anyone who thinks they are going to throw packs on their kids backs and head off into the great "bug out" unknown. The 13 year old now joins me for an afternoon workout before he starts homework. It's good for both of us.... [/QUOTE]
