But, you know, if we look at the typical person, especially someone listening to this podcast, they don't have two hours in the gym. So if your program is requiring two hours of me, I'm out. If it requires an hour of me, I might be out. You know, I'm so busy that sometimes I eat lots of 30- and 40-minute pieces peppered throughout plus a lot of other play, and that's good enough.

So we really do need to look at how people are finding themselves in their environments to ask, is this appropriate for you and what's essential? And it turns out a lot of this, you know, 20-something playing around, videoing yourself in the gym is great when you have three or four hours in the gym.

How about that? I believe you. And that's what's so great is you're like, hey, that doesn't work for me. You know, I find that my best thinking is done under enormous aerobic load. Like I literally am like, oh, and I have an often jump up and write something on the whiteboard and then go back and do my thing because, you know, I'm just it creates flow state. And it's and if I'm distracted.

I can't really hear what's going on. And there's a time when I want to distract myself. And there's a time when I want to be amused. That's fine. I've got a two-hour ride. I'm getting ready for a four-day backcountry ski trip here in February. But notice I've already been getting ready for it in the beginning of November. I am ready. It's going to ramp up.

And so much of my training now is going towards can I successfully do these four hard days the way I want to. So some things come down a little bit. Strength dials down. I change my body composition. I like to be a little bit lighter. I'm playing. But there are some times where I have to get two and three hours in of steady work done. And I'm like, headphones. You know what I mean?

So it's okay to be amused. You don't have to be a monk doing what you're doing. But I really like what you said. I feel distracted. Yeah, let's use this as a concentration time. All right, let's use this interaction time. The gym shouldn't be the loneliest place in the world. If you're not making eye contact and talking, high-fiving, get a different gym.

I think what we should do is if you pull fascia out of the human movement equation, the human fails to stop moving, right? So the recent, like, we've just discovered fascia, right? That's not really entirely true. There's a really, like, 20-year-old set of videos by a guy who describes himself as a somonaut. His name's Gil Headley, and he did these live dissections on YouTube.

I don't even know if he's still there, but he basically did all of this gross anatomy for free on the Internet. And he describes—one of the first people to really describe fascia as this sort of incredible, you know, connective tissue network that envelops, wraps, you know, stores energy, communicates, is tensionality—
