Hero Month! During this next month we will have 4-5 named hero workouts each week! What is a hero? Well, anyone who has lost their life serving our country or defending it in some way. The names of these workouts we do are real people who were known within our space/community/methodology and had a combination of movements and rep schemes put together that reflected their life, some movements that, maybe, they really enjoyed doing or even a combo of things that represent the mission they were on when killed. So what’s your job this month? Pay attention and pay respect. How? Come in and go hard, warm up well, cool down well and understand that these workouts are often very potent! They can create a solid amount of soreness when done properly–so scale accordingly, eat/hydrate well and prioritize sleep outside of the gym. Yes, this sounds a lot like what you should be doing ALL THE TIME, so keep at it, or do it better. Pay respect by thinking of these men and women as you enter a place of physical or mental discomfort. In those moments, push harder and surrender to staying in that moment and continuing on regardless of the discomfort. And as usual, HAVE FUN!
