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.
Our warm up was:
5 broad jumps
10 Air Squats
3 Burpee's
(Rinse and repeat x2)
"Murph" Workout:
1 mile Run (we did 200 meter run)
100 Pull-ups (we used a PVC pipe, 16 yr old used dumb bells)
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run (we did 400 meter run)
*Added a 3600 meter row to make up for the run being shorter
I'm starting to reach the point where I'm wanting to exercise more. It's funny how that creeps up on some of us once we actually START exercising. There have been a few programs I've done where the day between the workouts I was like...hmmm maybe I should go do more. I can see how some people get addicted to exercising, especially if they don't have a lot of other outside responsibilities and only work. I think I'll be bumping my workouts up to 3 days a week next month.
I'm also loving the people that go to my gym. They are always stopping me and telling me how great I'm doing and to just hang in there. I tell them the truth, I don't plan to quit and I'm loving it...but I know how rough I look and I can imagine how much it looks like I struggle so I can see why people might not think I am enjoying myself LOL There are a couple that kinda look irritated when they see my family of 5 coming through the doors...but we're staying out of everyone's way and they'll just have to get use to us, because we're not going anywhere anytime soon! :0)
