I don't think I ever could have done this.

If I ever have to face vigorous exercise I lie down a few minutes and the mood passes.

Is there a section for us 92-year-olds?
I can do 5 pushups...😢

The Murph workout is a high-intensity CrossFit workout named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in 2005. It’s a Hero WOD (Workout of the Day) designed to honor his memory and test physical and mental endurance. The standard Murph consists of:

• 1-mile run
• 100 pull-ups
• 200 push-ups
• 300 air squats
• 1-mile run

Yeah, like I have a dog named “Five Miles” so I can say I walked five miles every day ... that’s it.

[kawhill]

1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run
I wonder if I can do that at my age? I probably better not try, someone could injured.

[Mariner]

Not even 1% of the population under 40 years could do this.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

100 true pullups is insane. There was a time I could have gotten the pushups and air squats, but never 100 actual pullups at once. I was content to get my 20.

That being said, I just checked out videos of some people supposedly doing this, and I'll just say that I'm skeptical of some of them being able to get 5 pullups, much less 100.

Right out of boot camp I was a pull-up machine... they stopped me at 30 to get other boots through the testing... I think O could have given them 45-50. I always hated running though... I nordic’d and rowed and swam for my cardio, now I squat about 60 or so throughout the day, and walk occasionally.

This test is balls-to-the-wall crazy!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Of course not.

I am a middle aged short female with a bum knee. I do well to do my gardening. Can't see very well either although that is going to be fixed shortly.

I did this 5 years ago at the age of 60. Without the weighted vest. Took me about 45 minutes. I can’t do it now due to shoulder pain in my right shoulder but I could still do it.

[trebb]

I wonder if the pushups and pullups were single events...I used to be able to do 125 pushups but only 42 pullups at single shots - would have taken me a few goes to get to 300 and 200 - the squats and running would have been a piece of cake.

I still have my 5-BX book of Basic Exercises issued in the USAF back in 1966. Every so often I get it out and LOOK at it.
Trying to become more muscular in 1990 caused me to blow out a mitral valve, had open heart surgery, now have a mechanical valve and am on blood thinners.
They only exercise I have done since that day is open and close a book or walk up a short flight of stairs.

I did the Mini Murph, which is 1/2 of each thing, this morning with 40 others, with another group of 30-40 who started an hour later. The top group do it with a 20 pound vest or plate carrier. The pullups are often Kipping pullups, which is easier than a strict pullup. It was time capped at an hour, and almost everyone finished some version of it.
