I don't think there's an ideal length. Some days my weightlifting takes me 30 minutes because I power through it. And sometimes it takes an hour. I think ideally, if we're talking about this cardio 80-20 regimen, it's 45 minutes of base training. And if you're adding sprinting, that usually takes another 15 minutes.

So weightlifting can take, I don't think you have to be there three hours unless you just want to hang out in the gym. So it doesn't take forever. And it's not about time. It's about what you put in that time.

Is that true?

Is that true?

Is that true? Do we only have 20 minutes a day? I've been doing this a very long time and And I tease people that you can't out excuse me because I've been practicing 25 years and I've had the privilege of taking care of probably 100,000 people. I have heard all the excuses. And there are some times when you legitimately excuse. do not have time.

But I would say that is the fraction of the time, not the reality of the time. And to the, I don't have 20 minutes, I ask you to examine how literally, and I'm guilty of this, how long we're scrolling. How long we're washing our dishes? Do you really have to spend three hours every night cleaning your house? Because that's what makes you feel not anxious at the expense of your health.

So I think you have more than 20 minutes, if that's what you tell me.

And if you're just beginning a relationship or a friendship or even deep into it, the endorphins that you release from the strategic stress actually increase bonding. So it's like a triple goodness. It's fitness, it's relationship, it's increased bonding at a chemical level.

When you exercise, our body releases hormones that are endorphins. It's that high you feel. And having that shared experience, or what if you're doing something like rock climbing and it's a little terrifying, and the oxytocin and the bonding chemicals that are released because you're terrified in this experience, those actually bond people. You know, that's why...

people that go through hard experiences together end up as a band of brothers or a tight-knit group. So that can happen in relationship. So advice out there, if you want to bond with this person, do something frightening with them.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

You know what? I'm so glad you came back to that because we think of bones as just like the strong, silent type hanging out. Yeah. Holding up our muscles.
