It can be these short, brief bursts of what are called exercise snacks.

Now, this is the more, you know, I would say structured type like I did this morning.

You get up and you do, you know, three minutes of body weight squats.

You do three minutes of jumping jacks.

You do high knees, something that gets your heart rate up, something that makes it where after you're done, you're breathless.

You know, you're sweating.

You get sweat on your brow.

Like that stuff you can do and make it part of your personal hygiene.

I do.

It's part of my routine.

I don't do it every day.

So I do a lot of what's called CrossFit types of exercising.

So I do Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, I do an hour-long sort of CrossFit type of workout, which includes oftentimes jumping rope.

It includes a lot of explosive types of working out.

I have a trainer that comes to my house twice a week, and the other two times I do it at my friend's house with my friends.

And so, you know, whatever works for you.

Yeah.

You know, if you don't have access to trainers help because there's accountability and they're really like helping you just kind of get that structure and that routine.

But I think, you know, in addition to the reason I work out is actually for my brain, to be honest, like I know all these other benefits.

That's like the positive side effects, you know, in terms of like lowering cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, like cancer, all that is, is I do it for my brain.
