But it is way more preventable than we realize, specifically from physical activity and exercise as not the only thing there, but a huge component to that. Lastly, Why? Remember, the way that you move throughout the world has three big components to it. So when you pick your leg up like that and you just shifted your toe, what ended up happening there is three things.

Some signal went from your central nervous system. This could be your brain, spinal cord, it doesn't matter, nerves. Send a signal. That's part one. Part two, those nerves activate or turn on muscles, and then the muscles contract. That's part two. Those muscles are surrounded by connective tissue. The connective tissue actually is tied into your bone.

The connective tissue actually is tied into your bone.

Pulling the connective tissue is what actually made your foot move like that. So connective tissue is part three. So the reality is anytime you're strength training, you're keeping connective tissue healthier, you're keeping that muscle quality high, and you're continuing to keep that nervous system activated. Keeping that nervous system alive is keeping your brain alive.

It's physically what you're doing. It's keeping your entire nervous system around and fine-tuned. It's the same process. And so when we tend to think about strength training as something we're doing for our muscles, we cannot forget we're also doing it for our joints, we're doing it for our bones, And we're also doing it for our brains and nervous system.

Great. You're on fire. I love these questions so much. Let me ask you a trick question. And I'm telling you, I'm tricking you right now. What's going to burn more calories, walking a mile or running a mile?

What's calorie? Oh, walking. Sorry, my bad. A calorie is energy. Right. Calories work. Right. Walking a mile, running a mile. Oh, same thing. It's the same thing. Interesting.

Now it's a bit of a trick because you probably would burn a few more calories walking or running rather because there's a little bit of inefficiency in the system.

But theoretically, if you're simply looking for caloric work, this is why we have so much evidence at this point. You can manage calories any way you'd like.

That'll hit people. If you like long duration, slower stuff, you like cardio or heart, I hate those phrases, but if that's ringing a bell to you. Which phrases do you hate? Things like cardio.

Because? It doesn't mean anything. Well, it's cardiovascular training. Anything that uses your heart. Like, well, fantastic. That is literally every form of exercise, right? Like it doesn't make any sense. If you hate that though, you don't ever have to do it. We can get this same place.
