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.

to add some power in.

One of the ways we can test a vertical jump is just take a pen, a pencil, and mark it and then jump as high as you can and mark it again.

And you can get the norms for that.

So that would be one.

One's obviously a deadlift.

And the caveat is I hear from people, well, I can't do these things because.

And again, if you have bad knees, when I blew my knee out at 17 and then did the dumb thing again, they're like, you need a knee replacement.

I go, all right, I'll come back.

And I came back 30 years later.

And literally, they were like, we don't know how you're walking.

You are bone on bone.

Like, how are you doing this?

But I'd strengthened everything else so much that I was able to do it.

And then I trained for the knee surgery.

So literally, I never used a walker.

I never used anything.
