One of my highlights is always the conventions with Friskis&Svettis. They celebrate the joy of movement and create many ways for people to move their bodies. Everyone is welcome. Many fitness chains make similar claims, but few truly live up to them. Friskis&Svettis does.
I taught five sessions at their convention FSD26 in Oslo, Norway: strength training, a lecture on exercise and healthy aging, a workshop on flexibility and balance, and a lecture on exercise and pain. A big shout out to all the brave, curious participants. An extra bonus was to be in the same conventions line-up as my husband Robert (“king” of F&S Norway).
I also want to express my deepest gratitude to Christina Engebretsen for creating such a great and diverse programme at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. We have known each other for many years, and I am so happy to have been part of such a well organised event. Christina, your passion for exercise has reached far and wide across Norway. Be proud. Thank you for the movement!
