Yeah, no, I absolutely love that. So at its highest category, We always define it as people generally want three things in their fitness. They want to look good, they want to feel good, and they want to perform good. Pardon my grammar, right? Now, what does look mean? I don't know. You tell me. You want to have this look or you don't want, I do not care.

But at some point, you want your body to look a certain way or not look a certain way. Up to you to define. You want it to feel a certain way. You want it to feel strong. You want it to feel fast. You want it to feel mobile. You want it to feel, don't care, you define that. Then you want to perform. What's that mean? You want to have more energy. You want to have more mental focus.

You want your digestion problem to go away. You don't want that knee pain gone. Okay? So it's a look, a feel, or a performance metric. Absolutely. Ultimately, everybody's after, right? Yeah. So from our professional athletes to non, to the students that work in my lab for our research questions, that's the first lens I'm looking at. What does that mean for you?

So when I'm designing a, when we're designing a study or we're, again, working with individuals, filter number one, what does fit, what does look mean to you? What does feel, what does perform look to you? Now I'm calibrated, right? Because I love this question so much. Fitness can be, I just want to be able to surf every day. Amazing. I'm in, right?

Fitness just means I want more energy with my kids. I'm here for all of that. All of that can be rooted in performance.

We have a saying that if you have a body, you're an athlete, which is to say, I don't care if you want to use those physical abilities to shoot a basketball or hit a golf ball, like some of our clients, or you want to use that to just run your business better, be a better leader, make better decisions, be able to work more hours and less fatigue. Fine. You're still asking your body to perform.

It's the exact same thing, except for a couple of little points at the end of physical movement skill, right? So that's answer number one. Now, taking this question entirely differently, if you look at what is generally true for most people, fitness is a combination of a handful of things. You want to be able to do activities and not pay major consequences. That is it, right?

I want to be able to walk up this dang hill and then not wake up tomorrow in screaming pain. So it is a, I want to do A, and then I don't want B to happen as a consequence, right? So I want to empower everyone to be able to have that.

and then not pay major consequences, whether it's injury or a handful of other things. So for most people to be able to execute a resilient physiology, that is to be able to do many things, it's one of the reasons, again, we called it RTA. It's this concept of I want to be able to do many things and then not have severe consequences.

So you're going to have to have some semblance of physical strength, number one, right? You don't need to be a powerlifter or a bodybuilder or a weightlifter, blah, blah, blah. But minimal levels of strength. If you want to look at this from the medical perspective, I can make that argument. We can go into tons of the research. I was about to ask you that. Yeah.
