If you have a ball and a roller, we can really get you a long way in terms of making your body feel better at home.

And, you know, way leads to way.

There's so much.

Any one of those things are in there.

Our last book, Built to Move, we wrote as kind of a primer because a lot of us nerds aren't doing this.

But we wanted to bring neighbors and family members and members of our athletic community along.

So we kind of wrote a prequel to everything.

And I think that's a really nice place to start.

This has been a dream.

I mean, you have been like the science voice in my head for over a decade.

So being here is incredible.

So I'll start. We opened the book with something called the Sit and Rise Test, which is based on a 2017 Brazilian study that showed that people who could get up and down off the floor without putting a knee or hand down lived longer. And we also know that people who end up in nursing homes, the number one reason that happens is they've taken a fall. Or they can't get up off the ground.

Or they can't get up off the ground. And there's been a ton of press lately. In fact, we just saw this article in the New York Times that hip fractures in the elderly are expected to rise by something like 30% over the next 20 years.

And anybody who's been paying attention to the news knows that once you fall as an older person and then fall and break bones, that starts to be the beginning of the end. And so one of the reasons, though, we wanted to start our book with this was not to scare everybody and say, OK, you're going to die if you can't do this.
