Survival Fitness: What Fitness Benchmarks Could Save Your Life?

Survival Fitness: What Fitness Benchmarks Could Save Your Life?My primary fitness goal this year has been to focus on functional strength and general fitness. One of my favorite threads in r/fitness was the one about stories of how being fit saved lives. For fun - my focus now has been is on what would I need to be able to do to survive a natural disaster, zombie apocalypse, or just run of the mill emergency (fight or flight). Coupled with what would essentially be a basic training requirements for any military/police training programs. I'm looking to establish a baseline of requirements that would make for all around fit person. Types of benchmarks I was thinking about were: Run for X miles without stopping Bodyweight pull-up or pull-up with back-pack 10 ft Wall Climb 20 ft Rope Climb Lifting non-barbell weights equivalent to a human's body weight etc. What other fitness benchmarks would you think would make for a someone having a higher chance of surviving whatever life threw at them? submitted by /u/dubbelU [link] [comments]
