Question of the Day: What’s the Best Fitness Regimen for Self-Defense?

I’ve joined a gym. They’ve got all the machines, plenty of natural light, and they’re right near the supermarket. Mmm. Donuts! Just kidding. I’m a binary kind of guy. When I do something, I commit fully and follow through with pig-headed persistence. So, by the time the summer shooting season arrives, I’ll be as fit as a fiddle, ready to reconsider the advantages of an inside the waistband holster. But I’ve never trained for armed self-defense, and I’m quite sure the PFTs at the gym would faint at the sight of a firearm. So what exercises apply? I reckon anaerobic fitness is key. Upper body strength is a plus. Despite cop physiques, bulging biceps and a thigh-wide neck are not on the menu. The ability to move is key. I’ll hit the net, but how do you train to shoot?
