It's

People, these short vilpas can be anywhere between one minute to three minutes in length.

You know, they're not super long.

It's certainly not 10 minute on the Peloton, right?

One to three minutes.

And they're done multiple times a day, right?

Because it's like just your everyday life is what we're talking about.

And so one of the most profound findings of the study I like to talk about, one of the vilpa studies, is on the upper end of that.

So people that are doing like the three minutes thing.

And they're doing that three times a day.

So a total of almost 10 minutes a day, right?

It's like nine minutes a day they're getting this physical activity.

And those individuals have a 50% reduction in cardiovascular-related mortality, 40% reduction in all-cause mortality, 40% reduction in cancer-related mortality.

pretty robust.

I mean, especially if you start looking at some of these other studies where people are engaging in their structured physical activity based on their memories and their brain's ability to recall in the last week what they've done, it's even more robust than some of that.

And the reason I like that, and I know that you feel the same, is that because it's actually capturing what's really going on.

It's capturing the real movement here.

And so these studies, these vigorous intensity lifestyle studies, there's multiple studies of them.

There was one also that was recently done in women and looking at like some of their cardiovascular disease risk.

And it was pretty profound, I think.
