And this is a military group that has access to literally all the greatest technology on earth, every drug, every amazing, cool gadget bell whistle out there. And if their warfighters come in complaining of not sleeping well, the first number one order of operations is they're prescribed walking 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day. And they're tracked. And they're tracked.

And the idea there is that they are going to develop enough sleep pressure to actually sleep well through the night. And so, you know, there are so many ways in which we think walking is so critical. And, you know, Kelly, I mean, we haven't even gotten to the mental health benefits.

I'm sure you've talked extensively on your podcast, but I mean, look, if I had to, if I was given like the worst choice in the world, which is like Juliet, if you had to like choose for the rest of your life to formally exercise or walk, you could only do one or the other. I would, even though I'm a major exerciser, I would choose walking.

I think it's so critical and fundamental to the human that I would actually choose walking over formal exercise if I had to make that horrible choice.

I just wanted to add, could I add two more things about walking, my obsession with walking? But there's this whole new field of a subspecialty of researchers that just study sedentarism. It's like a whole field now. Sedentary biology. Yeah, sedentary biology. And what they're starting to realize is that it's all that additional movement in the form of walking is often-

how people are controlling their weight throughout their lives. So people who exercise for an hour a day but then don't move, that may not be enough total movement to actually have lifelong weight control. But the people who are moving 8, 12, 15, even more, 1,000 steps a day, those people actually often do not struggle with weight control throughout their life.

They've got just a little bit more of a buffer to sort of be able to eat whatever they want.
