7/4/11 – Monday – Happy 4th!

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Happy 4th of July!  A big thanks from us here at MidwestFit for all of those who have served and loved America – Military and Non-Military.  Celebrate accordingly, but do not forget to throw in some time for Fitness! Have a happy 4th of July.

The two PT’s we have posted are from American Special Forces Operators who have given their lives in service of our country.

Potential PT #1 – Murph

This is a PT we found out about a while ago that K and I have done a couple of times.  It was a favorite of a Navy SEAL Lieutenant who was KIA in Afghanistan during an operation to find a top tier terrorist leader.  The account of the mission can be read about in a great book titled “Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrell.  Check the book out and I promise you literally will not be able to put it down.

If you feel like thats not enough some of the gentleman in a similar line of work as Murph like to do the workout with 20 pound body armor or a 20 pound weighted vest.
