The most famous of these workouts is “Murph”. Many athletes around the world perform this workout on Memorial Day to pay tribute to him, and the many other armed forces that lost their lives protecting our country.

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.
Thank you for all who fight for this country each and everyday!
