Memorial Day Murph 2024 at HEW Fitness | Honor, Challenge, and Give Back
Join Us for the HEW Fitness 2024 Memorial Day Murph workout!
It's that time of year again! As the warmer weather approaches and we prepare for the summer months ahead, our team at HEW Fitness is excited to invite you to our annual Memorial Day “Murph” Workout. This year, the event will take place on May 27th, 2024, and it promises to be more than just a workout—it's an opportunity to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
What is the Memorial Day Murph?
The Memorial Day Murph is a tradition in the fitness community, dedicated to Lt. Michael Murphy, a United States Navy SEAL who lost his life in Afghanistan in 2005. Lt. Murphy was known for his dedication, bravery, and fitness, often performing the workout that now bears his name.
The workout consists of:
- A 1-mile run
- 100 pull-ups
- 200 push-ups
- 300 squats
- Another 1-mile run
Participants are encouraged to tackle this challenge wearing a 20-pound vest or body armor, in true Murph style. Here at HEW Fitness, we personalize the workout and modify as needed for any ability level.
Why Participate?
This workout is more than just a test of physical endurance and strength; it's a way to pay tribute to Lt. Murphy and all the heroes who have fought and died in the line of duty. It's a moment to reflect on the values of courage, sacrifice, and commitment that these brave men and women exemplify.
