Seriously, we are headed for very hard times, your physical fitness will give you the best chance of survival. I'm not in nearly as good of shape as I was a couple years ago but I decided a few weeks ago I have to push myself as hard as I can so now I do my exercise until I'm sore, then rest and as soon as I feel recovered I'm right back out there again. I'm getting all kinds of minor injuries but that's a good thing because I want to get injured now and recover so that when shit really starts hitting the fan I'll be in as good of shape as possible.

on the contrary, physical fitness has pretty much no correlation with survival in "hard times". it's mostly about being in a defensible community full of likeminded individuals. in fact, an extra 50 lbs of fat would be an asset if you're low on food for a year or two.
during "hard times" you're not going to be humping a ruck 50 miles. you're going to be sitting your drowsy ass in a guardhouse at a checkpoint that guards one of the few roads/access points to your community to keep the roaming gangs of other armed people away.
