If you are looking to survive long term or be prepared to handle emergency situations, maintaining your Fitness is essential. Can you run for your life, hike or cut timber? If not you need to focus on improving your fitness.
Survival fitness is the strength, stamina, and endurance you need to handle an emergency on your own two feet. Being physically fit is important to survival because it helps to maintain a healthy immune system, strengthens bones and muscles, increases endurance and stamina, and reduces the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Being physically fit also helps to prevent injury, improves mental health and enhances overall quality of life.
Fitness matters to every prepper, whether your plan is to shelter in place for three days or to live by your own work for the long term. Can you run for your life, hike out with a loaded pack, or cut timber for heat? Regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep can help to ensure that you are physically fit and able to survive.
