So you had some flexibility in when and how you got your cardio, but you knew your goal was to get to 30 points.

And this would often require quite a bit of activity.

I actually loaded up here, I mean, his systems evolve, but I have here to load up

a version of his system from 1982.

So he kept updating it just to get a sense of what we're talking about here.

I don't know, Jesse, we'll see how we stack up.

All right, so at the top here, he's talking about points for various walking and running sessions.

So if you run a mile, how fast would we run a mile, Jesse?

You think between 641 and eight minutes?

Or are you faster?

Yeah, that's probably over seven now.

All right, so over seven would be five points, right?

If you can run a mile under 543, that's seven points.

Look, he goes, if you run two miles, let's see what it would take here.

If you can run two miles, oh, man, I think that would take me 20 minutes.

If you could get it under 20 minutes, you could get nine points, but between 20 and 24 minutes is seven points, right?

Walking is going to give you fewer points.

What do we got here?

Look how detailed this is, Jesse.

It's like every distance you might go and every time he tells you how many points.
