CHALLENGE #1: “GET WID DE BEAT”
(10 POINTS)
REGGAE HAS ITS ROOTS IN JAMAICA.
Reggae evolved in the late 1960s from Ska and other local variations on Calypso and Rhythm and Blues.
It became widely known in the 1970s through the work of Bob Marley
and its lyrics are much influenced by Rastafarian ideas.
SO IT IS TIME TO DO A LITTLE
REGGAE INSPIRED WORKOUT!
****IN ORDER TO COMPLETE CHALLENGE #1****
YOU CAN CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO VIDEOS BELOW
(OR DO BOTH!)
VIDEO #1 IS MORE OF A SWAY AND GROOVE.
I recommend it for those with bad knees, ankles, or similar injuries:

I made ginger tea.
I usually have Chai tea, but I have heard that ginger is good for muscular aches and pains so I thought I would give it a try.
I have had it for two days and so far I can’t tell a difference, but I do like the taste.
NYAM WID GUD APPETI!
