And as you get older, more aches and pains, it's harder to get up, it's easier to sit down.
But I think knowing you have some control over it that a lot of, especially in midlife, people have back pain.
It's probably the most common thing and it's probably from sitting.
We work a lot and especially in midlife, there's some interesting, it's not always a linear decline with age.

Well, it can make you feel good because a lot of people who might not feel great at 40 or 50, if you said, well, actually that's the lowest point in the graph and it can actually get better with age, the title of my book.

Whereas kind of when you're younger and your body's in decent shape, we're doing things like sitting, we're working a lot, we're stressed, we're not handling our emotions as well as we could.
And so I think that's why aging is an interesting thing that, you know, we think when we're young, that's, you know, the best times in our lives.
It actually might be some of the most confusing times.
I think I am.
I think I'm more content.
But when I was at 20 or 30, I could do whatever I want.
