Longevity ultimately is being able to maintain function as you age.
Because again, it's not the number of years, but the quality of the years.
So all muscles in your body serve a function.
You're training these muscles to get stronger and you're training your balance.
These are all skills that can be learned and improved.
They're all trainable.
If it's trainable, it's fixable.
I'm glad you're talking about all of this.
Obviously, it's like, it's such music to my ears.
But I think the background of being a physical therapist is what set the stage for my focus on these things.
Because when I was younger, pre-physical therapy days, I did all the dumb stuff too.
And I did all the things, just the big things, and realized that it,
wasn't necessarily a path to longevity, but in the immediate and in my 20s, I was literally breaking down then.
Like I had knee pain then.
I had back pain then.
I had shoulder pain then.
So I think people who are in their 20s these days have the luxury of having access to videos like this where they don't just say, oh, that's just maybe a hard workout.
Now they start to say, well, maybe I'm actually doing some damage here, right?
Maybe I do need to pay attention to the smaller things.
And when you have enough videos out there that showcase these small things, for instance, you mentioned back pain, we talk about a major cause of back pain not being structural back pain.
