Good morning! I thought today would be a good day for Drew’s challenging 102 sit-to-stand session that Kris suggested. I believe many of us have a tendency to ease off a bit on Fridays as we look forward to that precious weekend. Yet we best serve ourselves and others when we continue to give our best effort. I hope we are all here at age 102. That said, it occurred to me that this session may place too much strain on some members with hip, knee, or ankle issues. So I’ve also included a second, gentler session from Drew’s Norway trip below that may be more suitable for you at this time. As Drew often reminds us, do what works best for you. https://youtu.be/jAdBrcg7GxY?is=6mIDbyxKUniCljGS

I thought it would be enjoyable to start the weekend by revisiting this gentle session that Drew connects to the healing power of nature. And what a perfect setting for it! He shares center stage with his little buddies who are frolicking about trying to steal the show, which vibes perfectly with Drew’s message for this session as well. Enjoy your Saturday. https://youtu.be/2mNSDEdRwWE?is=_LZvKycO9prG7Cg-

I wanted to continue to enjoy Drew’s daily sessions while he takes a well-deserved digital break. I’m posting one of his previous sessions here for Wed., July 15th in case anyone in the group would like to join in and keep our community interaction alive. And, of course, this mobility session ends with one of Drew’s ever-positive reminders: “it’s a great day for a great day.” https://youtu.be/sXd1OViEtlc?is=CAY2zcUwzeT8o9aM

Here’s one of Drew’s cardio sessions that introduces the Finnish concept of sisu—the inner strength to keep going when we really want to quit. Great motivation for a Wednesday morning. https://youtu.be/qljpsq4N3j0?is=8uJwd90KoEHP6vLD

Who else is using the sessions to keep moving everyday? Today I moved with Monday's session, and yesterday with Tuesday's. I will continue with this coundown trend until Drew comes back from his digital break. I will be here tomorrow doing Sunday's session. Keep moving. Have a great day, everyone.
