VETERANS DAY AT THE COVE
This Monday is Veteran’s Day.. We at the Cove have a large number of current and former military athletes and we are so thankful for all the efforts and sacrifices. We could not have this place to connect with one another without them and all they have done.
We are also starting a new tradition for Veteran’s Day, which is the Chad 1000X workout. This workout is in honor of Chad Wilkson. He was a Navy Seal who had been on several deployments and suffered multiple significant injuries. He suffered severely from PTSD and unfortunately took his own life on October 29th, 2018. We do this not only in remembrance of his life, but also as a way to raise awareness for suicide prevention. The step foundations was created in his honor and donations can be made to this organization here.
It is like any hero workout, in that it is challenging but it’s going to be a little different than most hero workouts. It is simple in execution, with 1000 step-ups. This is a daunting task and one that will most likely take between 1 hour and 1 ½ hours. So be aware, that your class will be over one hour, and at times, we will have two groups working out at once, similar to Murph.
As with any workout, there are scaling options. It can be done with a weight, without a weight, or in so many other ways. It does not matter what you do, but rather the intention you use to approach this workout. We hope you will join us on Monday, in honor of Chad and all the other brave veterans that have given so much to us.
We will have normal class hours on Monday and we hope you can join us in honor of Chad and all of our other brave veterans who have given so much for our benefit.
