ISP HERO WOD

Today we push ourselves, not for a number on the board, not for a personal record, but for something much, much deeper…HONOR! Take on this ISP Hero WOD to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice… those who held the line so we could live freely, train freely, and continue becoming the very best versions of ourselves.

➢ Do it with gratitude.
➢ Do it with purpose.
➢ Do it in their name.

Hold the line today, just like SERGEANT Glen R. Hosier did. EOW 04/27/1971
