And I just want to, because we've talked a lot about the behavioral chapters and then a little bit about the sit and rise test, but there's two things I want to say on this sort of mobility piece. First of all, I want to define what we mean by mobility because I think it's poorly understood or people have never even heard the word.

But what we mean by mobility is it is the ability to move your body freely through your environment without pain. And to be able to do the things you want to do physically. So if people are asking, do I or do I not have mobility? Those are the questions. Are you out of pain? Are you able to do the things you want to do physically?

And that second piece is really important because for anyone who's physical in any way, worst case scenario, especially from a mental health standpoint, is to be able to be told by a doctor or physician or physical therapist, stop doing the thing you love because... You're in pain. That's everyone's worst nightmare, especially people who are physical and like to use their bodies.

And the other thing we want people to think about and hope they care about their mobility a little bit and range of motion is that if you think about your physical capability as a human is this wide open hallway. And as we age, the hallway starts to narrow.

And one of the ways that hallway starts to narrow is if we don't keep an eye on our range of motion, we can't move our body freely through its environment and we can't do it without pain.

With its native range of motion. That hallway is going to start to constrict. And the reason people should care is they are going to not... Their movement opportunity is going to start to narrow. They're not going to be able to do the things they want to do physically. I don't want to hike. I don't want to ride a bike. And one story I'll tell is I have a friend and... who's a financial advisor.
