A new trend in fitness and sports. Workouts that will help prepare for the end of the world.

More and more often the heroes of horror movies are people with unearthly appearance. They are hungry for the brains of those who have not yet had time to “transform”, and arrange real chases. This wave of popularity of the zombie apocalypse was picked up by the sports industry. Event organizers and developers do not miss the opportunity to make fun of this theme, create entire training programs based on it and adapt funny applications. We found out four unusual ways to burn calories while hiding from zombies.

Obsah

1. Zombies mobile running app, RUN!

Now you can easily turn your run into a fun quest. All you need is a smartphone and headphones. With their help you will hear the sounds that make zombies. While running along your route, you automatically collect bonuses in the form of medical kits with medicines, weapons, food, etc., and also hear instructions from your team.

However, the game doesn’t end when you finish your run. Now you need to distribute the collected bonuses among the population of the city, which is fending off zombie attacks. You’ll have to make tough choices and decide who needs clothes, weapons, and medications. Your daily forays save lives.

3. themed races

The theme of zombie apocalypse was not left without attention and the organizers of the races. Which is not surprising, because the speed of running from zombies will be much higher than average. And at some competitions you can become a zombie yourself and go in pursuit of the victim.

Such events are regularly held around the world. Moscow is not lagging behind the leaders, and last year launched its “Zombie Run” in Sokolniki. The participants of the race had to overcome a 5-kilometer route through rough terrain, while not to get into the clutches of the living dead, the role of which is played by professional athletes-runners. The zombies can chase the participants or ambush them. We think that in 2019 it will be no less scary and interesting.
