What is Swedish Drill and how to benefit from it today...

About the author...

No program of exercise is without risk, and that applies to the program outlined in all Swedish Drill Revisited instruction manuals.  If the recommended movements are performed improperly, physical injury may result.  Therefore, if you or your children perform the exercises described in this eBook, you agree to do so at your own risk and discharge the author from any and all negative claims.  The instruction and advice provided in this eBook are not a substitute for personal consultation with a health care professional. 

My goal for these four eBooks is not to represent Swedish DrillTM with 100% fidelity to the way it was practiced in its heyday – or even as it may have been practiced in Charlotte Mason’s schools.  Rather, my goal is to take something we know Charlotte Mason respected, appreciated, and utilized, improve it using modern health science principles, and make it accessible for the “every man” to implement in his or her home school.  Considering how forward-thinking Charlotte Mason was in the area of health and wellness, I have no doubt she would approve of these adaptations if she were alive today. The expanded edition of Volume I includes additional exercises that include newly developed instructions for converting fundamental exercises in this manual to incorporate movement patterns to stimulate optimal brain development.
