Chapter 1: Inclination to Preparation

 

 

The Apocalypse Tuesday modus operandi is thus: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss-poor Performance.

 

A pivotal factor determining whether one will or will not survive the apocalypse (Tuesday) is preparation. This cannot be overstated because we do not know for certain which form the apocalypse will take.

 

The three most likely end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenarios (as our experts predict them) are:

 

         Nuclear War (and subsequent fall-out and mutant attacks)
         Zombie-producing virus
         The [Google + Apple] Grapple Emergency (Can also fall into the category of “Robot uprising”)

 

Of course these are crises of apocalyptically cataclysmic proportions, you might also fall victim to any number of other semi-apocalyptic disasters, including (but not limited to):

 

         Flashfloods
         Wrongful imprisonment in a foreign land
         Hurricanes
         Not-exactly-‘flash’-but-you-ignored-all-the-warnings floods
         Earthquakes
         Riots
         Foreign Invaders
         Plane crashes/Lord of the Flies scenarios

 

Though only some of these would threaten THE world, all of them can threaten YOUR world…if you become a statistic.

 

Be inclined to prepare. You downloaded this book: that’s a great first step. There are a handful of other Apocalypse Tuesday manuals also designed to equip you with the tools to survive and thrive: you can check them out here.

 

So you bought the book, now comes the hard part: preparation. Fit To Survive is designed to give you the physical fitness tools and know-how to make sure you’re durable in the real world…in the Tuesday world.

 

Should you encounter any of the aforementioned disasters, it will mean your world has been thrown upside down. You may not only be forced to fight, flee, scavenge, and hide, but you will also face a myriad of other threats that will potentially come your way.

Muscles are defined for more than just movement. Imagine you slip and suffer a fall of about ten feet onto rock, concrete, or some other hard surface. Do you have enough muscle in your back to shield your spine, or were you counting on a thick layer of fat to cushion your fall? In either case, the fall would hurt, but which person would be down for a week and which one would be back on their feet in a day or two?

 

Keeping fit and staying strong enables you to handle these accidents in a way that will keep you up and fighting zombies or short-circuiting robots in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
