A potential vicious cycle, let's get out ahead of this thing.
That's a good point. If people were more healthy going into this crisis, we might not have a crisis.
A few smart device manufacturers have published data on fitness post-Covid. The data doesn't represent the average person, though, since these are people who own fitness watches.
Garmin data reveals how the world is working out during the lockdown
Walking and activity is down, but walking workouts are up. Indoor cycling and cardio training is up.
Withings data suggests coronavirus lockdown isn’t negatively affecting physical health
“…in the U.S., only 37% of people have gained more than a pound, with the average U.S. weight gain at only .21 pounds (.095 kg).” That’s basically a good bowel movement, so I’m not too worried on that one.
They report daily steps have decreased only 7% nationally, more in NY. It’s actually increased in some places. I’m seeing more people outside jogging in SoCal than normal.
And according to Fitbit people are getting 17 more minutes of sleep at night. Not me…

i haven’t done a regular Murph in a very long time and my legs were super sore from a heavy FS x 10 workout two days ago and a ton of yardwork a 9 mile hike yesterday and 3 mile runs with the dog every morning.
i took the run easier than normal this morning and banged out Murph in the late morning before it got too hot outside. Perfect outdoor workout and a great workout to just zone out and think about things while grinding.
I talk to my father who passed away when I get into a longer WODs and when I’m pushing through the pain.
i thought about him in t he Navy. For him he was doing what he had to do and not being heroic and to me that is exactly what a hero does. He always trivialized that aspect of his life and I always thought more of him for that.
I completed the first mile in 7:20, then the 20 rounds of Cindy but I did 21 rounds because I was feeling like doing one more today completed those in 18:35, then the last mile in 7:25.
completed the WOD in 33:30. The first 1/4 or more of the last mile I was cramping and trying to loosen up and feel loose to run.
overall it felt better than I thought it would.
next time I’ll retest it with my best. Not even close to my best but a decent time and a good workout.

"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.
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it."

Time to evaluate yourself; today is a day that you should evaluate yourself both physically and mentally and define new targets for your professional life.
Are you really ready for bigger wars? For bigger challenges? Where are you? What is the purpose? Where do you want to go?
Most Hero WODs are meant to be extremely grueling, arduous and mentally challenging (Quote from Crossfit/180528). Please re-set your focus to discover the philosophy behind the hero WODs. Crossfit aims to constantly recreate your life style. Crossfit wants to constantly improve you. How much has it improved your life so far? You already started a long way; let crossfit push you up more.
To select hero WODs, it is crucial to explore the inherent concepts behind the WODs. Indeed, each of them is passionately designed to salute the specific achievements each hero created for our world. Choose one of them and execute with all-out effort; like a hero.
The philosophy behind the hero WODs will make you the new hero; the hero of your life.
What WOD did you select? What was your strategy? What is your perceived philosophy?
Good luck hero
Well said, Reza.

In honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28.
With heavy hearts we offer our prayers and condolences to his wife, Laura, and 14-month-old daughter, Molly.
The price of freedom, and its worth, is found in Michael’s passing. The debt owed to Michael and his family can never be repaid but only honored by remembering Michael and remaining free.
Chris S. and Main Site - it's 199 Heroes. I have them all documented. Your FAQ is missing some (no biggie, but just FYI). I have done them all, and I think there are a few other folks out there that have as well.
Get some tomorrow, peeps - pick your favorite and hit it.
p.s. The Chief is not technically a Hero WOD, but thta would be awesome choice as well...
Props to you James for hitting them all.
▶ INTENDED STIMULUS
Today the purpose is to celebrate those that inspire us. Let's celebrate those that decide to give the best of themselves for the betterment and improvement oh this world. Let's celebrate our shared humanity. And let's use this workout as a statement for all of us to commit to being also amazing humans. The present context clearly shows that there are heroic and inspiring people in all professions and in all cultures. COVID has also reminded us that our worst nightmares and threats don't know about religion, politics, race, or nationality. Take time today to think about what does it mean for you to give your life for the greater good. Take time today to think about one person that has inspired you to be better and to bring some good to the world. Dedicate this workout to them.
If you don't know how to choose what Hero to choose, keep it simple, choose the one that looks more fun to you. And then, slay!
Murph is what most people will be doing, below are some options on how to scale.
▶ OPTION 1
No vest Murph.
▶ OPTION 2
Without a vest
Run 1200-meters
20 Rounds
3 Kipping Pull-Ups or Banded Strict
6 Push-Ups or 6 Push-ups with hands on a 12 inches box
9 Air Squats
Run 1200-meters
*This is a sensible option for people who have good kipping pull-ups and push-ups but not a lot of capacity there.
▶ OPTION 3
Run 1000 meters
18 Rounds
3 Kip Swings
3 Straight arm ring rows
6 Push-Ups to a 20 inches box
9 Air Squats
Run 1000 meters
For those thinking about the strategy for how to break the inner movements on Murph, consider the following:
▶ Prioritize the rep scheme that will keep the non-moving time shorter.
▶ Prioritize the rep scheme that will not lead to muscle failure. (We don't want stamina to become a factor)
▶ Prioritize the rep scheme in which transitions between stations are not too costly. Calculate the number of times you will have to go from the floor to standing up (think of it as reps of burpees)
▶ KEEP IT SIMPLE, AND EASY TO TRACK
▶ WOD'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST (Includes relevant videos for this workout)
Globo Scale: As most will be choosing "Murph" we will work with that one as far as scaling ideas go. For those who have a pullup bar you can do this one as Rxed. If using a home pullup bar that you can't kip on, or are weak at pullups or pushups consider doing larger numbers of smaller sets (Ex: 32 sets of 3/6/9 and 1 of 4/8/12). If somewhat proficient, choose "Cindy" style. If you are feeling up to it and have the stamina to do so, you can do it 2015 "Games Style", straight through with a vest. Scale as necessary though, if you haven't been doing much volume lately, or have started back up recently do a half Murph. Also scale if you haven't been doing any of the movements lately, such as pullups.
For those of you without access to a pullup bar you can modify the pullups to some sort of row, or choose a different hero wod. "Loredo" comes to mind as a great no equipment needed wod (6 rft of 24 air squats, 24 pushups, 24 walking lunges, run 400m.) "Griff" is another one if you have a track to run on. Otherwise look at the list and choose a WOD you can do with the equipment you got, and substitute/modify to conform to your equipment. DT for example can be modified to dumbbell DT or double dumbbell DT if using 35/50lb dumbbells.
BTW I did Murph today. 44:15, 3/6/9 strategy, strict pullups (doorway bar).

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Chris Meldrum, known in our Champions Club community as "Mel from North Carolina," who has completed all 196 hero workouts in his home gym over the course of his CrossFit career. I know CrossFit is better in a group, but there is really no excuse to find a way to make it happen in any setting.
Also, embarrassing story: the first time I ever did Griff I didn't notice the corner of the lacrosse net sticking out on Bishop Foley's track, and I pulled a Charles Barkley vs. Dick Bavetta on the backpedal.
MAIN DECISION
Which one?
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Try out Nate, you can find a bunch of good subs for Muscle-ups and Handstand push-ups that are doable in a low volume
HOW DO I KNOW IF I PICKED THE RIGHT WORKOUT?
I feel like I am in a suffering that will never end, and I can't figure out which part of my body is the most sore.
HOW DO I KNOW I NEED TO RETHINK MY DECISION?
My joints are hurting, or I find myself staring up a 15-foot rope knowing I have to do 12 ascents.
GENERAL APPRECIATION LEVEL: Ask me a few hours after the workout. But probably a 10.
