Today I'm going to tell you guys a little bit about the Murph challenge. This workout is honor of Lt. Michael P. Murphy who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005, Murph was only twenty nine years old. This workout regimen was Murphy's favorite way to get back into shape before being deployed. It is now used by CrossFit gyms across the country on Memorial Day, in his memory.
(R. I. P. 1976-2005)
This challenge is going to be tuff, but you can handle it!
- 1 mile run
- 100 pull ups
- 200 push ups
- 300 air squats (no weight)
- 1 mile run
Here's the catch, you only have one hour to complete this challenge! You must start and end with one mile runs. The pull ups, push ups & air squats can be done in any order and amount of reps that you'd like!
You can't fake this sweat! Good luck with your challenge!
