Background: This workout is dedicated to Firefighter Emilio Rivera who passed away on October 21, 2019.
Emilio joined the United States Marine Corps in 2009 and was assigned to artillery in the 5th battalion 11th Marines unit where he specialized in HIMARS. While serving, Emilio and his battalion/unit broke two military records while overseas.
After four honorable years of service, Emilio returned to his family in Pasco County, Fl. After a few short months after his discharge, Emilio had the urge to continue his service. Emilio attended the Florida State Fire College and received the “Top Dog” reward which is earned by having the overall best physical shape and dedication among his classmates.
After fire academy, he was hired on by Marion County Fire Rescue, he served 5 years as a Firefighter/EMT.
Firefighter Rivera, a proud United States Marine Corps veteran, and firefighter for over five years, was loved and respected by all. His drive, determination, and work ethic inspired all who he came into contact with. He was assigned to Friendship Fire Station #21, Operations Station #33, and most recently the Villages of Marion Station #10.
The workout was designed by the Emilio Rivera Foundation @theemilioriverafoundation to be done in October every year.
The rep scheme signifies: – 22 Push-Ups for 22 veterans who take their own life every day – 21-33-10 reps for Emilio’s stations.
