VETERANS DAY WORKOUT

“Chad1000X”

CHAD1000X honors Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson, who died by suicide in 2018 after more than two decades of service. What began as his training for mountaineering became a way to remember his life and support awareness of veteran suicide, traumatic brain injuries, and other invisible wounds of service. His wife, Sara, carries that mission forward through The Step Up Foundation. (chad1000x.com⁠, stepupfoundation.org⁠)

The prescribed workout is 1,000 step-ups onto a 20-inch box, wearing a 45-pound pack/vest for men or 35 pounds for women. At LFCF we want to honor the spirit of this workout, but also welcome lighter weights, lower steps, and sharing the repetitions with a partner or team.

Stepping into the arena for this workout is what matters most!

Come try a version that fits you, and encourage a friend to get in the arena!
