Today was Veterans Day. In honor of our veterans and their service to all of us and our country we picked three different Hero WOD’s (representing the Army, Navy/Marines and Air Force) and had each of you choose one to pay tribute to. Knowing a little bit about why and who these WOD’s are named for helps put it all in perspective. Each time you do one of these think about their sacrifice, what it stands for and then just let it push aside the temporary pain and discomfort of your workout. For a well written explanation to why these WOD’s exist read on here from Z Fitness.
For those who currently serve or have served our country we thank you, for those who have sacrificed we are eternally grateful.
