needle mover for us. I mean, for our resting metabolic rate, really the only way we can shift that is to put more muscle on our body. For our overall metabolism, the biggest needle mover is really that non-exercise activity. It's how much you're moving all throughout the day.

And one of the studies, like I'm thinking, I mean, there's been multiple studies of this that show in overfeeding situations, people move more and in underfeeding situations, people move less. Like our body strives for homeostasis. And so if you can start to really track, and I've become a little like, I like to focus on something to really lock it in.

And so I've been really focusing on steps and making sure I'm moving all throughout the day. And I love the research. I don't know if you've seen the research on Vilpon exercise snacks. You'll see it. So they did a study where they showed people and they looked at two groups versus nothing. So one group, no exercise snacks.

And these are short one to two minute, really high intensity things like I was talking about when we started. And so one group did 4.4 minutes of exercise snacks a day. It would be like doing, you know, two to three circuits. One group did 10 minutes of exercise snacks a day. The group that did 10 minutes lowered their all-cause mortality by 40% and their risk of cancer and heart disease by 50%.

And the group that did 4.4 minutes lowered it by 28%. And we also know that if you did 30 air squats, you actually will... will lower your blood sugar response. Or no, if you did 10 air squats every hour for eight hours, 8.5 hours, you will have the same blood sugar control or better than if you did a 30-minute walk.

Well, the research also showed, I remember early on, this was in graduate school, there was a study that came out that looked at people that were instructed to do three 10-minute sessions of cardio a day versus one 30-minute session. And they compared the two groups, and the 10-minute session had way better cardiovascular effects because of it.
