They adapt and readapt.

It's going to be slower than when you were 17, but you can reclaim that position and shape.

I did a talk at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, which is kind of a fancy athletic club.

And they were like, we want you to talk about mobility and performance.

And I was like, great, there's going to be no chairs.

And the demographic there was decidedly over 50.

And there were so many people who wanted to have a very sophisticated conversation about performance and mobility, but couldn't sit on the ground.

And at the end, we had, it was about an hour long.

We're doing lots of demos and things.

Probably a third of the room was laying down because they couldn't sit.

Didn't have the access to the range of motion.

Didn't have to do anything that required that normative range of motion.

You know, that's a problem.

And it's not always a problem.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I'm glad I don't have to kill my own chickens every day.

But simultaneously, I may have to be a little bit more intentional about taking my body through its shapes.

And again, I think what's wonderful about that is we can say, first of all, we can have, hey, fall-

prevention, mitigation.

We could get better at getting them down off the ground.
