Cue <a href=\"https:\/\/legacyworkout.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Legacy Workout<\/a>, a dynamic series of movements inspired by athletes, leaders, soldiers and other legends past. Created and performed by Yale graduate turned fitness activist, Andia Winslow, each exercise demands strength, reflection and a sense of purpose that goes beyond just the physical self.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day we\u2019re losing more and more legacy makers \u2014 and their stories are being forgotten,\u201d Winslow reflects. \u201cOur goal is to pay tribute to these people through the work of the human body.\u201d One such legend is Winslow\u2019s grandfather, a former Tuskegee Airman, and the inspiration behind the Tuskegee fly sit-up, a powerful move that begins on the floor and soars to standing. Follow those up with Jackie Robinson-inspired fast feet, Buffalo Soldier high knees and the <a href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaskloot.com\/the-immortal-life\/\" target=\"_blank\">Henrietta Lacks<\/a>\u00a0peacock pose, an expression of immortality and love.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lB1Em-LJc50?rel=0\" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re calling it a movement-based movement,\u201d says Monique Walton, The Legacy Workout&#8217;s co-creator. The call to action? \u201cAction,\u201d Walton says.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s no coincidence that the video\u2019s release coincides not just with Black History Month, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/features\/heartmonth\/\" target=\"_blank\">American Heart Month<\/a>. According to Winslow, honoring those who came before us is also about honoring our own bodies, and living long enough to keep these most cherished legacies alive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause they dreamed us, because they dreamed of a better place for us \u2014\u00a0and for themselves \u2014 we owe them,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/legacyworkout.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the filmmakers write<\/a>. \u201cWe owe it to ourselves to do \u2014 and be \u2014 better &#8230;\u00a0Infinity is our limit.
