I always enjoy seeing people take responsibility for their futures.
There are some very stocked-up members on this forum. Preps are good. Having guns, ammo, gas, rice, water, med supplies, BOBs, knives, blankets.... All good.
BUT how many of you have stockpiled training? How many of you have invested in the most important item for SHTF......YOURSELF?
My second point is to get in shape. Healthy people survive stressful situations better. They are able to endure more physical and mental hardship and resist or recover from disease more easily. There are plenty of benefits from daily exercise and a good diet that will be noticeable even if **** never does hit the fan.

In addition to fiscal preparedness, many underestimate physical preparedness. I find the above quotation an excellent reminder of the latter.
With that in mind, I'm starting this thread for members to set goals and objectives, assist one-another with workout plans, post updates of their advancement, etc.
I know, I have been slacking lately. Due to degenerative joint disease in both knees and a bum shoulder, I discontinued most of physical training and subsequently lost about 30 lbs in just several months. Now, I am trying to slowly get back in the game.
I'm sure there are much more knowledgeable people on the subject than me on this forum, but I may be able to help with any questions about devising a plan. In the Army, I had the additional duties of the Training NCO and Special Population PT instructor. I was also studying for Physical Trainer certification exam, but never finished due to my life taking another direction.
