ok everyone listen up! getting in burning-man-shape is not simple task, and with less then 3 months left, it’s time to get your bodies and mindset ready for the desert.
let’s first talk about what “getting in burning man shape” means:
- you’re on the road for several days, you may be tired, irritated, not eating your regular foods, hot, cold, etc
- you’re spending a significant of time in a harsh climate / environment
- you should be able to carry a backpack full with water and supplies for many hours at a time, without rest
- you need to maintain your composure, have fun, think, interact, help others, pARTicipate, build and take down your camp
so how to get ready?
- eat a healthy diet every day and every meal
- get used to carrying and constantly drinking water
- carry around a backpack filled with water and bare essentials, just like you would on the playa
- get all your bag stuff sorted neatly in zip locks, use them on a daily basis
- be self-sufficient. take care of your self. get up early. have breakfast. keep your environment clean and MOOP-LESS.
- cycle everywhere, while carrying your backpack
- stop smoking!
- go dancing
