And I thought, all right, all the things they tell you couldn't do with a blown out knee squats and lunges. I did all of it. And I put off a knee replacement for like till I was 52. And I remember when I walked in, they go, we don't know how you're walking in here. Wow. I go, I've just kept everything super duper strong.

Again, think of your reason why not is probably your reason why that we have to train to get better at life. And in life, we're going to have to get out of the way of something fast. We're going to have to pick something up off the floor, catch something, grab something.

Right. I mean, it's time to be the matriarchs here. This came out of me starting to talk more about, okay, build muscle. I have been focused on muscle building since my early 20s as I started to work with clients and everything was focused on cardio back then. This was in the 80s. Everything was vegetarian, vegan, and cardio. Lots and lots of cardio. And what I realized was it didn't work.

My clients were 45 plus and it wasn't working. And I went, well, they're not going to pay me to get worse, I'm pretty sure. And I discovered resistance training and I was taking people to Gold's Gym and I saw people in their 60s and 70s that were amazing. I went, this is it. This is how you change everything. If you have more muscle, you change your metabolism.

If you're doing cardio, you have to keep doing it all the time. It's like you're making money and spending, living on paycheck to paycheck versus having a great bank account and you're just living off the interest. having the great bank account is having a lot of muscle. Living paycheck to paycheck is just doing cardio. So it's been really clear for a long time that this is the way to go.
