Like, how do you approach that?

Like, is it like, do they need to lift?

Is that the secret sauce?

Do they need to lift more if they are lifting and it's still kind of hard?

where the calories come into the picture as well.

Again, like I said, even if they're already haven't really changed their calories, it just hit menopause.

And then, you know, they get that sort of belly fat accumulating easier.

Do you think that a postmenopausal woman that increases their –

their volume of resistance training versus let's say, you know, getting on a Peloton and doing spin or, you know, endurance.

Like, do you think there's a difference in, in helping compensate for some of those changes in their, their, their physical activity that they're not thinking about?

Cause you're getting more muscle mass or does it,

It's never too late.

What about – there's a lot of people that are older adults.

So let's say they're 65 or older and maybe they are just starting out and let's say they have joint issues.

And I think you kind of addressed this with the pain and I want to just confirm this.

So for these people, let's say, that are older, they have joint issues –

If they just start like with like lighter weights, just start with the like low exposure where they're just doing something and training and their muscles are adapting, their joints are adapting.

Is that sort of the approach you would take with older adults?

I think this is a good segue too for the other signal of increasing muscle mass that we talked a lot about, the mechanical signal.

Tension and the training, which is the biggest.
