I can't remember that stat.

I do know this stat.

If you do, if you are one of those people.

Right now, like sarcopenia, it's something like four to 11 percent of 50 to 60 year olds have low muscle relative to their weight, sarcopenia.

And then it, of course, just gets worse.

But it doesn't have to again.

But if you are one of those people who breaks your hip at 65, it's it's a third of those people die within a year, like never get out of the hospital, die within a year.

And half of the people there, they're never where they were.

you know they lose muscle they can never get back that's why it's so important not to get injured as you age you would start with things like doing an air squat i mean i literally i'm doing this with someone right now who is morbidly obese

And we've gotten him to see back to the person he used to be, which was a professional tennis player, right?

And so the first thing that we did was squats, but they weren't even squats over a chair because he couldn't go down that far easily.

Like he has to pull himself out of a chair.

There was a squat over just the side of the chair, an air squat.

Next we'll go down to the chair, right?

And then we might add a little handheld weight.

But you just the form is always the limiter.

And then when you think about it, like how many things in life involve you getting up off of something, a toilet, a chair, a car.

So I would start with a squat with no body weight.

Then you can add a little dumbbell that you hold.

Then you can also once you get that foundation, you can do a squat with a jump.
