Because I think for so many of us, and I did this too, Drew. I'm kind of blown away when I start to think about it. I'd had all these goals of what I wanted to be able to do at 50, and I didn't reset. I didn't think, okay, now what I want to be able to do at 60, at 70, at 80. And I just went on autopilot and I was autopiloting everything. And you're like, oh, this is good for me.

You know, if you look around at everybody else, you're like, oh, I'm doing fine. Who wants to do fine? Like, don't you want to be the best version of yourself at every age? So you can't look around at what society is saying because then you're going to be average and there's no reason to be average.

What they're showing us about aging now, like there's, to me, two totally different schools of thought. And where I'm most concerned is that woman who's always tried to control her weight with diet because what the research shows is those people tend to be toffee, thin outside, fat inside. Right?

And that they will tend to have poor muscle mass, they'll have sarcopenic obesity, so they don't have enough muscle. And they're so used to controlling by just doing more cardio and eating less, they're just, you're devastating your metabolism, devastating it. However, you can turn that all around. by starting to move, add the intensity, add the body, add all the resistance training and change it.

And what's fun is rather than focusing on the scale, you're focusing on, I used to be able to do one pull-up, now I can do six. I used to be able to do 10 air squats, now I'm doing air squats with weights. Now I'm jumping at the end of my squat. So the feedback you're getting is really, what am I able to do? which is the whole point of this anyway. It's not a number on a scale.

Why I worry about focus on body composition is I know that if I'm improving muscle and losing fat, it's meaning that I can do more everywhere. And that's the point.

You know, being a little old lady. It's like, I'm never going to be a little old lady. Actually, I've never been little in my life, so the chance I'm going to be a little old lady is slim. But I think it is interesting because we're focused so much on muscle, and that's important.

But when you really look at what happens as we age, and again, I'm really unpacking right now how much this is aging and how much of this is the habits that we get into as we age. And I'm starting to think it's a lot more of our behaviors now. than actual physiological aging. And so we lose muscle, but that isn't really what's scary here.
