And you tell them what you do, most would be like, well, that's way more than most of my patients do. And if you look at the American College of Sports Medicine requirements, various requirements of what constitutes rigorous physical activity, you're getting well into the mix with a sum total, if we think about it, of two to three hours of difficult physical activity of any kind in a week.

So when people say I don't have time for exercise, I get it. I get it. I don't have children. I've heard that when you have children, time dilates like black hole type of stuff. But you can probably make time, at least for that resistance training session. Will it be ultra easy? No way. It's going to be really tough. I don't train like that. I need my break, damn it.

I'm trying to be lazy and scroll on Instagram between sets. But if I wanted to get the maximum results for the minimum amount of time, we're working all the time. And over time, you start with one or two paired sets like that. You get up to three or four paired sets like that on five to eight exercises per session. Holy crap.

That is a lot of work and it will train your entire body in one session and you will require one to three days of rest afterwards. Guess what? You rest for three days, you come back, you rest for three days, you come back. There's two workouts in a week. Each one takes about half an hour. And if you ever want the workouts to take less time, work faster and rest less.

And a lot of people want to hear like the hack for how to get really awesome results with very little time spent in the gym. But they don't want to hear how to get the hack actually going because they're like, whoa, hold on, hold on. What's going to hurt? Like, yeah, it's going to hurt. It's going to be miserable.

Unless you accept the fact that, you know, all the benefits of endorphins and everything like that. It's kind of like, you know, how do you become a millionaire? You're very, very good at something. You have very, very good people skills and you grind for years at starting your empire. Like, ah, man, I wanted like a win a lottery ticket or something. I didn't want all this.

Like everyone knows that's how you become a millionaire. I don't want that. So yeah, you can thumbnail and title this how you like, but it's cool to say, yeah, listen, one hour a week and you can have amazing benefits of health, quality of life.

But I'm here to tell you real talk because at RP, that company that I represent, we just have a policy of never lying to people ever because we're doing this to honestly help people. And business-wise, if you start lying to people, it's hard to unweave the rainbow after that. This is going to be tough.

But also, there is now more and more research accumulating that doing difficult things physically is good for your mental health. There's a lot of publicity lately to cold plunges, Huberman and all that stuff. And a cold plunge, because it's so annoying, makes you more grateful for the not pain you're engaging in the rest of the day and it's really good for you. I have one better.

You do a 30-minute session of back-to-back-to-back compound free motion or dumbbell or barbell or even machine work and sweat your balls off and huff and puff. The rest of the day seems like a breeze and the endorphin kick is massive. It's like surviving a traumatic episode.

So the cold plunge has some benefits, not entirely sold that they're enormous or extant whatsoever in many cases, but this kind of resistance exercise has benefits that if we just took one by one time to talk about on this podcast, we could talk about nothing else and do four podcasts in a row. That kind of massive benefit.
