Within the Crossfit community a popular workout everyone does for Memorial Day is the Murph workout.
Taken from Crossit.com
“In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.
This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.”
The workout is written as:
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
If this seems tough, you can always scale the workout down.
For example:
Half mile run
50 pull ups
100 push ups
150 squats
Half mile run
If you want to increase the workout you can do the workout with a weighted vest on as well.
