Workout Programs for Veterans

For service members, being physically fit is a huge part of being able to do their jobs successfully. However, one thing that’s often overlooked is what veterans do to maintain their physical health after they’ve completed their military service.

Let’s be clear: Just because you no longer have to pass fitness tests doesn’t mean strength training and cardio should take a backseat.

Eternally grateful and eager to assist, the GGR team created resources for veterans who have played a vital role in defending our nation. These seven workout programs are specifically designed for veterans, active duty military, and even those who are simply looking to help veterans and be more involved.

A Message From Brad’s Deals

Where to Find the Best Deals on Hoka Shoes

Meaning “to fly” in Maori, Hoka was founded in 2009 so that anyone spending long hours on their feet could get the ultimate experience with optimum cushioning and stability. Less than 15 years after its founding, Hoka is bringing in revenues topping a billion dollars a year, so it’s clear that people are loving this brand. But with quality comes high prices, and Hoka is no doubt in the high end price-wise. Thanks to Brad's Deals, we found the best prices on Hoka.

The Best Fitness Trackers

Fitness trackers are not a new invention. For decades, people have been counting their daily steps with primitive devices like good ol’ pedometer.

Thankfully, today’s wearables have much more to offer in terms of tech capabilities, with some being able to automatically recognize what type of exercise you’re doing. Many devices, including the world-famous Apple Watch, even allow you to text and answer calls right from your wrist.

But in a world where you can gather valuable data with something as innocuous as a ring or as bold as a big-faced smartwatch, what’s the best fitness tracker for you? With some assistance from his expert teammates, Performance Editor and certified personal trainer Anthony O’Reilly assembled a comprehensive list of the top options so you can take complete control of your health and wellness.
