Star Wars Workout

With The Bad Batch over and as we wait for the next season of The Mandalorian, some of you may be going through Star Wars withdrawals. Personally, I'm working my way through Clone Wars (I'll be done within the next week). Regardless of what you're watching, if you're trying to connect with the Force, you can get moving doing it. So put on an episode of The Mandalorian, a Bad Batch story, or (heaven forbid) The Last Jedi and enjoy a workout to the tune of a galaxy far far away.
