EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) – This Memorial Day people in Eau Claire, and across the country, honored fallen veterans with an intense workout.
The Murph Challenge workout, which includes a one mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and another mile run, was held Monday at Dragonfly Fitness in Eau Claire.
Justin Boudreau, a 20-year Army veteran, and his wife Emily own Dragonfly Fitness, and said the workout itself is “miserable,” but a good reminder of the service veterans do for their country.
“That’s pretty terrible if you don’t do something like that on a regular basis, and that’s kind of the point, to bring awareness to what our troops go through and feel closer to them, especially if you’re a veteran,” Justin Boudreau said.
Dragonfly Fitness offered the challenge with some accommodations, like biking or rowing, so anyone could take part in the Memorial Day workout honoring those who have served.
