CHAD 1000X is a fundraiser for The Step Up Foundation. The Step up Foundation was created to honor Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson – who took his own life on 10/29/18 – and to combat veteran suicide. Chad was an aspiring mountaineer, and he used this workout (1000 weighted step ups) to train for climbing expeditions. After his death the workout was named Chad 1000x and serves to honor his memory as well as provide a platform to support other veterans who are struggling.
