Because it’s Friday, we needed a hero, so we did Dan Taylor, after Lieutenant Dan of Forrest Gump fame:
1 squat, 4 alternating lunge steps
2 squats, 8 alt. lunge steps

…
10 squats, 40 alt. lunge steps
(@IcyHot reminded us that @McGruber did this with a coupon last year…miss you, brother!)

As we enter Thanksgiving week, we are reminded to be grateful for something. There is actual neuroscientific evidence of the changes in the brain, especially to the sympathetic nervous system with regard to the way that we are capable of handling anxiety. The more grateful we are, the better our sympathetic nerve will work to help us deal with stress and anxiety. My challenge to all of us is to express gratitude multiple times throughout the day for the remainder of the year and observe the changes which hopefully will carry us into 2025 and beyond.
