And then the compound movements, like working abs in a functional way, not doing sit-ups, but doing deadlifts or squats where you have to use your abs as a support mechanism, builds them faster than you see guys on the... floor doing lots of sit-ups or Russian twist, yeah, they're going to get those strong abs.

But for women, it's better to do this compound for that torsion to be able to use it as support because then it allows us to stand upright and have better posture because our center of gravity is down in our hips, men's center of gravity is up in their chest. So if we're working to control our posture and develop the strength through our core and we're standing up taller, our abs show.

If we're looking from an age standpoint. Okay. Okay. Let's start with our 20s. In our 20s, you can get away with a lot. What does that mean? So that means that you could do bare minimum a couple of days a week of mixed aerobic and strength training. So you don't have to do that much. Okay. So it could be a total body circuit set twice a week.

That means like going to the gym and doing the machines? You could do that, or you could do an at-home circuit where you can do, what I say, every minute on the minute. So you warm up with stretches and mobility for five or so minutes, and then you have five minutes where one minute is jumping lunges. The next minute might be some push-ups.

The third minute might be some overhead thrust, or you're pushing something overhead. Okay. The fourth minute might be some air squats. And then the fifth minute is completely off where you're recovering. You do that circuit two or three times. That's all you need. Wow. And you don't even need equipment. No. That's your bare minimum.

So if we're talking about going for a walk... That's really good. Like you're walking with a friend. Perfect. Because that's going to allow you to have some metabolic change. It's going to improve your blood glucose. It's going to improve your body's stress resilience. And hey, you get to hang out with a friend. So that's great. It's community. It's connection. It's all of the great things.

So that's one kind of cardio. If we're looking at improving our blood pressure, you can do some walking. But what we find is true high intensity work that's really directed. We call it sprint interval training where it's 30 seconds or less as hard as you can go. And it doesn't have to be running.
