And it was for eight weeks and the improvements in major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder –

the effect size for major depressive disorder was 1.7.

Now, for those who aren't familiar with effect sizes, 0.2 is a small effect size, 0.5 is a modest, and anything above 0.8 is considered large.

1.7 is massive.

And SSRIs fall between like 0.3 to 0.8, like usually the best you see is about a 0.8, which again, I'll tell people, what I'm not saying is that we should just get rid of SSRIs and everybody exercise, because sometimes,

Maybe somebody needs an SSRI just to get them out of bed so they'll actually go exercise.

But like if we're looking at how powerful that lever is, it's amazing.

And then you look at the effects on bone health.

You look at the effects on just like mental health, cognition, even short-term exercise improves cognition.

I think there was just a recent study showing that, that even an acute bout of exercise can improve.

I think it was memory formation.

I could be wrong.

And so I think, again, one of the limiters is I try to meet people where there are is like, hey, you see me train for two, three hours a day.

But that's because I'm trying to be the strongest person in the world in my weight class.

You don't need to be doing that.

Like just even if you just go walk vigorously for 30 minutes in a day, you're killing it.

You know, like.

But of course, I would recommend people resistance train because I think there are so many benefits with that.

And yeah, it just doesn't take that much.

And so I think what I'd like to point out in that is you have made it a habit as part of your lifestyle.
