These are the names of workouts created by the Crossfit community in tribute to the men and women who lost their lives in service to their country. In \u003ci\u003eThe Hero Workouts\u003c\/i\u003e, an active duty sailor in the United States Navy\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epresents over 100 of these honorific workouts, each named for a fallen hero and accompanied by the story of their bravery, sacrifice, and honor on and off the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy participating in these workouts, one gains the opportunity to revere an individual who has made the ultimate sacrifice. Taking the time to remember these men and women is a powerful part of the healing process, whether you are grieving on a personal level or in response to a collective loss we all feel. The stories behind these workouts are emotional and moving—stories of courage, family, loss, and grief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Carter Henry has agreed to donate 100% of her earnings from the sale of\u003ci\u003e The Hero Workouts \u003c\/i\u003eto benefit the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF). SOWF provides college scholarships for the surviving children of fallen Special Operations Forces, family \u0026amp; educational counseling, and financial grants to severely-wounded Special Operations Forces service members.\u003cb\u003eCarter Henry\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from the University of Texas San Antonio in 2010 and joined the armed forces the following year. Carter has since completed three deployments overseas in support of Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and INHERENT RESOLVE, and continues to proudly serve at her duty station in California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStewart \"Stew\" Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, a former Navy SEAL, and author of several fitness books such as \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Special Ops Workout\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eS.W.A.T. Fitness\u003c\/i\u003e.   Stew has trained thousands of students for Navy SEAL, Special Forces,   and many other military, law enforcement, and firefighter professions.   He is currently the Special Ops Team Coach at the U.S. Naval Academy   that assists in preparing future candidates for SEAL, EOD, and MARSOC   training and runs a non-profit called Heroes of Tomorrow which offers   free training for people seeking tactical professions.In 2014, I was introduced to “Hero WODs” (meaning “workout of the  day”)—high-intensity CrossFit workouts dedicated to those who have given  their lives in service: military members, federal agents, and first  responders. These memorials required more resolve  than anythingelse I had tried before but, no matter how hard they were  or how tired I felt, I pressed on, knowing that quitting was completely  unacceptable. I loved what the workouts stood for, and committed myself  to completing 52 Hero WODs in a year. A few  months in, I realized that finishing a workout didn’t have a positive  impact on anyone but me, and I wanted to find a way to give back. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe  Hero Workouts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the result of what started as a personal challenge: a  compendium of 100 workouts with biographies and  stories about the fallen men and women whose memories they honor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In writing and learning about these service members, I’ve also become  more familiar with the issues faced by wounded veterans and their  families. I started volunteering with another veteran aid group,  believing that our Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, and Marines  deserve the support of the people they have risked their lives  protecting. It has never seemed right to me that a person who has  willingly committed their life to our country could be left with so  little afterwards. This book has become my way of not only  showing them my gratitude, but living it. All profits I am entitled to  as the author are donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation  to help the families of the fallen. There are many, many more workouts  that have been dedicated to our national heroes,  and I plan to continue publishing these workouts to raise funds for  military charities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While reading \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Hero Workouts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, you will find charitable causes  associated with the honorees and their workouts. There are foundations  started in their names, scholarships given in their honor, and projects  to preserve their legacy, each representing the person  they were, or something\u003cbr\u003e they believed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So I charge you: attack these workouts. Read about the person you are  honoring, and give them your greatest effort. Consider making a  contribution to a charity in their name. Many of the organizations and  events can benefit not only from your monetary gifts  but also from donations of\u003cbr\u003e your time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These heroes and their families have given more than most of us can  fully appreciate, and for that they have my utmost thanks. Remember also  the men and women who continue to defend our country, at home and  abroad—they make us strong and will not be forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-- Carter HenryA Tribute to Courage and Sacrifice","brand":"Hatherleigh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301290496229,"sku":"NP9781578266586","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781578266586.jpg?v=1767739767","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-hero-workouts-isbn-9781578266586","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
