This Memorial workout from OUTAthletics @out.athletics(formerly OUTWOD) is dedicated to Gilbert Baker, an American artist, LGBTQ rights activist, and creator of the rainbow flag. The 6 minutes in the workout represent the 6 colors of the Pride Flag most widely distributed, even though the original flag has 8.

Baker set to work in 1978 to design the symbol for the gay liberation movement. He wanted it to be beautiful, unique, and to speak for itself as representative of the LGBTQ community. The very first pride flag was comprised of eight colorful stripes representing diversity: hot pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sun), green (nature), blue (art), indigo (harmony), and violet (human spirit).

WORK CAPACITY:

“MURPH”

For Time:

1 Mile Run

100 Pull-ups

200 Push-ups

300 Squats

1 Mile Run

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.
