Oh, gosh. There's so many reasons. I would say that there's sort of three, we'll say three main, three M's, okay? So not the tape company, but three M's. So we have sort of a metabolic reason.

So let's talk about the mobility reason, because I think that that's probably the most obvious. Obviously, we're ambulatory. We want to be able to get around. We want to be able to squat and deadlift and do things in the gym, not just because it makes us feel good and it grows our glutes and we look great in jeans. But for when we're 75 years old and maybe

we're living by ourselves and we trip and fall. We want to be able to have the proprioception in the joints, the mobility in the joints and strength in the legs, the muscles in the legs, be able to get ourselves back up. Another example might be, you know, again, living alone and you need to open up a jar.

How are you going to open up a jar if you have no grip strength, if you have no upper body strength? And we know grip strength is usually, I will say that I laugh a little bit because people are like, train your grip strength. It's like, no, it's Grip strength is a byproduct of lifting heavy things. We don't need those little grip strength trainers that I've seen people try to pedal off.

It's like that's not doing anything. The reason why you have good grip strength is because you're dead lifting. The reason why you have good grip strength is because you're doing pull-ups. It's not because you're training your grip. Amen. Amen. Thank you for saying that. So mobility is really important.

We like we put acronym. Like, oh, that's a foosh injury. It's like, what? It's a fall on outstretched hand. If you were to slip and fall, let's say, like I live through four seasons, right?
