No one can deny the good regular exercise does to people, but the demands of work sometimes stands in the way of going to the gym or participating in other sports which might lead people to a state of unhealthyness.

Well, Dr. Samia Al-Qattan, our guest speaker of the evening demonstrated how even in this situation and with little space and time, people can and should exercise while sitting in their chairs!

Dr. Samia and her assistant Sayed Hussain got all attendees to do just that and through simple exercises, showed how fun they could be too. Unfortunately as the podcast is audio-based, you won’t be able to see the exercises (you might hear some groans though!) but if you visit our Rotary Flickr Stream, you will see some of us participating.

The Incoming District Governor, Nijad Al-Atassi then took the mic and shared with us his quite extensive presentation which he used during the recent training seminars in Egypt – available here for you to download – introduced the Incoming Rotary International President to us and inspired us with a touching song by Declan Galbraith to end the evening on a very good note.

Please enjoy the much shorter Podcast (I edited out most of the groans!) and also view and enjoy Declan’s rather touching song too.
