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.

All kinds of injuries? I'm not mark rippletoe, but that doesn't sound good lol. If you're lifting weights get that form straight first and foremost. But overall, yes I agree with your sentiment I started my journey about 2 years ago and make the old me look like a bitch now.

Oh well I don't lift weights, I gave it up years ago, I've been working on running and improving my form so as soon as something starts not feeling right i stop

Running is the way to go. Back in my undergrad years, I'd run 3-6 miles with intermittent exercises such as push-ups or whatever sprinkled in. I miss that tow path, it had phenomenal scenery for running.

Also, if you have decent running trails around you and you live in a college town, be prepared for "major incentives" to continue running, haha.
