Soldier Highlight: Reflections on Functional Fitness and Service in Our Army

This week on the Great Big Podcast, we sit down with two Soldiers who recently attended the CrossFit Games in Fort Worth, Texas. Not only did they re-enlist at the event, they also participated in one of the grueling workouts of the competition. During the discussion we hear about their passion for functional fitness, their experience here at Fort Cavazos and their goals for the future. Tune in to learn more and perhaps look to include functional fitness into your exercise regimen! Show Notes:

The 79th Street Gate remains closed until Sept. 27 in support of repairs to the railroad crossing at that location. Commuters can utilize the Clear Creek Gate, Santa Fe Gate or Bernie Beck Gate during this period to access the installation.
