I have family that lived in San Francisco back and forth, and they're like, dude, it's so crazy how easy it was for me to stay kind of fit, and I didn't go to the theater.
Things just to see it everywhere.
Needles, stuff like that.
No.
And at one point, I was really interested in this kind of data.
And we have this idea with longevity that workouts, scheduled workouts, are what is best for longevity.
It's actually not.
Now, scheduled workouts are good, so I'm not saying they're bad.
And certain workouts have more of a protective effect.
in relation to the time that you spend doing them.
Like strength training is one of those things.
You don't need to spend a lot of time strength training to receive a longevity protective effect from it.
Everything from insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial health, a little bit of a metabolic boost, which helps with excess calorie consumption, strength, which helps with mobility.
And you don't need to do a lot of it.
Like the average person did a couple of days a week, literally, in doing strength training, the protective effect that you get from just a couple hours a week
outweighs any other kind of workout you would do for the same amount of time that being said if you want to move for longevity uh it's daily it's daily and it's throughout the day yeah so it's not like uh yeah i do a couple workouts a week uh or i work out once in the morning and then the rest of the day i do nothing which is what it looks like for fit people so fit
People who are fitness-minded, oftentimes what it looks like for them is they do one workout most days, but then the rest of the day they're sitting.
I will never, this was such a paradigm, just crushing moment for me as a, I was 19, went to Sicily to visit, to be with my family, my dad's side and my mom's side too.
She's got some family there.
And I remember we went to visit one of my, either one of my cousins or my aunts.
