CoT:
We focused a lot on posture this workout.I find poor posture not only makes me look bad, but also causes physical problems in my body. Here is a good quote on posture:
“Your composure and posture communicate to not only others, but also your mind about whether you are up-and-coming or down-and-falling.
So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.” – Jordan Peterson

And since yesterday was memorial day, here’s a good quote:
“And if words cannot repay the debt we owe these men, surely with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the vision that led them forth to battle and to final sacrifice.” – Ronald Reagan

Closed with words of prayer suffering from recent mass shootings and for our nation to develop effective solutions to the problem.
