The weather this morning was cool and perfect. The grass was damp. The dark enveloped us with the chilling embrace of a sinister stranger. It was a great day to sharpen some iron. There’s no better time than the present because you never really know when the undead will rise, the zombies will walk among us, and our fitness will be imperative because only the strong will survive. So, in order to survive TEOTWAWKI (“The End of The World As We Know It” for you non-preparedness types), one must condition the whole body…and, with the aid of a sweet soundtrack of great horror movie rock n’ roll (playlist below) no square inch of the body was spared.
Disclaimer
The warm up was the workout. We jumped right in feet first. Every exercise below was ten reps, in cadence, except for the stretches (because mobility is important when trampling the weak, hurtling the dead, and battling for your next post-apocalyptic breath), which were for a 10-count.

Happy Halloween AND Thanksgiving.
