So here's a Hero Workout that celebrates the life and service of Minnesota State Representative and Speaker of the House Mellissa Hortman, who was killed along with her husband and dog on June 14, 2025.
This Hero WOD celebrates the life and service of Minnesota State Representative and Speaker of the House Mellissa Hortman, who was killed along with her husband and dog on June 14, 2025. The workout is in rounds for time, representing the cycle of the legislative calendar. Doing a WOD with others is an act of community. In that spirit, she talked about “coming together to do the work.” Embrace the challenge, but choose the weights that you can sustain 3 rounds for time (3 is the number of deaths) • 25 Snatches (25 is the year of the attacks) • 34 Overhead Lunges (she represented District 34B) Each time you pick the barbell up for the lunges, 5 Snatch Balances first (5 is the number of casualties that day) • 61 Kettlebell Swings (she was the 61st Speaker of the House) • 110 ft. Suitcase Carry/Farmer’s Walk (she was 55 years old, so 55x2)
