Thank goodness it’s not facing the other way…. Talk about going out with a bang!

I am concerned that nobody (almost) said S&S. That is supposed to be gpp - what we need. And it is supposed to leave you fresh enough, no?
Well, if anything - nobody said: 2H swing + goblet squats, chinups and pushups as well.
For what I know, would not he be better off swinging instead of jogging? ( I refer to will Smith on the threadmill in the movie).
For the rest - this turns out to be a supre thread. It is very interesting for me - originally I got into the strength training, because I have tried to figure out: how little can I do to stay fit and in shape?

You're teasing us, right?

No, I am genuinely interested. I often think - what would I be doing?
So, me - if I would get my hands on a kettlebell, being 41 y.o., - I would 2h swing, goblet squat, do pushups, pull-ups and some mobility work on the ground, different forms of TGU with something light would do. Probably, mobility work daily. Then - one day chins and pushups, the other day squats and swings.

In this post apocalyptic world, do you have unlimited food that you can waste so much energy?

These 2 hours apply to just the swings or all exercises. Because if it's only for the swings, I won't be able to do it even in the current situation

Your scope is broader. I assume that I am the last person alive and I loot supermarkets. For the sake of mental experiment, let's agree that I eat enough to recover.
Yes, embarrassing, except that no one would know. Unless the zombies are sitting around the fire and smokin and jokin at your expense.
You might. Last man standing and all.

The Full Body Training Effect of Sandbag-Based, Multi-Modal Chassis Integrity Grinds - Mountain Tactical Institute
By Rob Shaul For several months in my own programming, I’ve been experimenting with extended, multi-modal, sandbag-based, chassis-integrity focused, grinds. These are 40-90 minute efforts, generally involving 2-4 exercises. For the sandbag exercises, I’ll work to chose primarily from our...

If you're the last person alive, there aren't any adversaries.
You could just live in a supermarket.
No need to train.

If I'm verifiably the last person alive, what's the point of survival?

Head to the genetics lab at the local University and build a clone army?

To do....what?
Trust, but verify.
Shake weight stuff.
Yeah man, group exercise classes.

I was under the impression that if you build a clone army "they" will come.

I enjoy these thought experiments...
Priority would be avoiding injuries and not leaving yourself too tired/sore to perform when called upon. So nothing near your max, no TGUs, no heavy loads of any kind, no long runs or rucks in places you aren't sure are safe, etc.
TBH much of the 'training' you'd need day-to-day would probably be just surviving/scavaging/running away/fighting as needed. But assuming you have some stable and safe set-up (indoor or outdoor) though, I'd do some combination of:
Some mobility work.
Easy running or rucking.
Pull-ups and push-ups.
Swings and snatches.
Light to moderate barbell work: squats, deadlifts, presses.
And maybe something like some sandbag work or some GPP Crossfit-lite programming.
For me it'd look quite like the Novocaine format that's been talked about on here I think.

In all likelihood, you’re gonna get really lean/thin in such an event. you’d actually want to have a bit of extra fat on the bones prior to the apocalypse happening. Not so much to vastly slow you down though.
Years ago I did 35 days of intense backcountry hiking in New Zealand. Time between civilization stops ranged from 3 days to 11 days. Often in cool-cold weather. Tons up mountain rucking, carrying all my gear and food. (Food for 12 days of eating in cold weather weighs quite a bit).
Every time we were in civilization I would eat lots of fresh produce and lots of high calorie foods (we’re talking whole packs of Oreos and half gallon of milk plus lots of fresh fruit) to compensate for expenditure. I still lost something like 25 pounds.
