So, you know, for example, I figured out I couldn't do 10 push-ups when I was 50.
So I started, I'm going to do push-ups.
So I take a shower most days.
So I basically...
would wait for the shower to heat up because I live in a barn and it's really tall and it takes a while for the hot water to get upstairs.
And I would do push-ups.
And I went from being able to not be able to do 10 to be able to do almost 100 push-ups without stopping.
So we can train our bodies and it's really simple.
Or maybe while your coffee's brewing, maybe do some stretching and yoga.
Walk or bike instead of driving.
In many, many countries, they do this.
I just met this guy who was a CEO of a big company and he lived in Switzerland and he
I mean, he runs a $6 billion company and he rides his bike straight up the hill or the mountains to work 2,000 feet elevation every day.
And he's in incredible shape.
He's 53 years old and his VO2 max, which is a measure of fitness, is that of an elite athlete and someone who's like half his age.
So it's very impressive.
You don't have to sort of, you know,
do something like that, but just, you know, parking further away in the parking lot, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, the escalator, just simple things to start moving.
Also try a standing desk or a stability ball.
If you're, you know, at a desk, you sit on a ball, it kind of helps you move and move your body and increase your core strength.
