Look, there has to be benchmarks, right? You have to have something, kind of a milestone. I think it's not difficult at all to walk 3000 steps a day. So if you're not getting in 3000, then yeah, I think that's probably, if you're just walking from, you know, the couch to the toilet, to the kitchen, to the garage, from the parking lot to the, you should easily be able to get 3000 steps.

No, that's right. The lymphatics, the lymphatic system is dependent upon muscle contraction, right? Especially in the lower extremities. If you're not moving them, you're going to get lymphedema. You're going to get pooling. And you're going to get neuropathy and, you know, vascular disease, peripheral vascular disease. So that's just one aspect. But you have to have a target.

You can't set goals if you don't have a target. So, yes, some of these numbers are random. Is it 3,000? Is it 10,000? It doesn't matter. But you have to have a target. You can never hit your target, hit your goal if you don't have a target. So I think it has some meaning. But what is the right target? Number? I don't know.

You can't do it one day and go, oh, I did that and then never do it again. You know, for me, I travel every week. And so sometimes I would, you know, when I when I arrive at a new hotel in a new city or new country, always go to the gym. Right. No matter what time of day it is, because I've been sedentary in an airplane for sometimes 15, 16, 18 hours.
