This week we're flipping the idea of what it actually means to be strong. Sometimes our fitness of the body, mind, of *EVERYTHING* can be challenged. Our very foundation of our strength is challenged. So how do you gain your strength back after you've had your entire world turned upside down? Our member Robin J Price who rides with us down in Virginia had to redefine strength for herself when she was diagnosed with aggressive cancer just before the pandemic. Robin found strength in herself, and not only that, she found strength in her Peloton community.

Sometimes when you feel your weakest, you may actually be your strongest. This week, we're talking about how we redefine what it means to be strong, and more importantly, how we develop and practice strength. Over the past decade, evolving conversations around health, wellness, and fitness have ushered in new definitions of not only what it means to be “healthy,” but what it means to be “strong.” Our incredibly strong guest is world-record holding Paralympic track and field athlete Scout Bassett. Scout talks with us to talk about the strength that comes from struggle, not in spite of it. Neuroscientist Daya Grant also joins us to discuss what mental strength can do for us physically. By training our minds in resilience, goal setting, focus and more we are able to perform at the very highest levels.

Today’s episode features Scout Bassett- @scoutbassett and Dr. Daya Grant @dr.dayagrant.

A key to combating stress? Finding your people. Frontline workers have been holding us up these past two years - so what do they do to take care of themselves and prevent stress and burnout during this incredibly challenging time? During covid, female physicians have used Peloton en masse to manage their stress and chase serotonin. Dr. Jagu Anadkat, a neonatal intensive care doctor in St. Louis, organized a group of her coworkers across many departments to ride together once a week. They have held each other up, made each other laugh, and found that some sweat and community goes a long way.
