So that's what 70 minutes, it was even less than that was nine minutes.

So it was even less, right?

So like, you're like, okay, around 70 minutes a week, I'm getting a 50% reduction in cardiovascular rate mortality.

But the guidelines say 75 minutes a week is the minimum.

Now I get it like this study is saying, no, we underestimated what the vigorous

you know, activity really is giving you in terms of benefit for these health outcomes, right?

Because of the way everything was calculated, it wasn't based on health outcome data and it wasn't based on, you know, actual empirical data measuring, you know, how vigorous, you know, your exercise is and how that correlates to health outcomes.

And so this is all, it's so important.

It's unbelievably important.

And I'm so excited about this paper.

I love I love how you put that because, you know, like even just this morning I spent, you know, sometimes I'll spend 10 minutes like just sprinting around with my puppy, like playing chase or tag and or a bit like a five minute bow and another five minute bow.

And now I have to think about that in terms of, OK, if that's if I'm looking at, you know, cardiovascular related mortality, let's multiply that by eight because that's how much moderate intensity is.

you know, physical activity that's equivalent to.

And it really does incentivize you to find ways to, like, engage in this sort of, like, everyday life, like, intermittent burst of physical activity where you're, like, I'm going to find a way to, like, move around, like, run around and play soccer with my kid or whatever, you know, sport with your kid or your puppy or your dog.

I mean, it's just...

I just love it.

I think it really helps reinforce the importance of this leg movement throughout the day, right?

I mean, this is how humans used to be too, right?

different type of activity throughout the day and vilpa it was like would be inherently a part of that right i mean we've created this problem of being sedentary right because of the way we work with exercise right now we have to like find a solution to that problem we've created and that solution is now we have to like designate time make it like a thing you know and so yeah and then it becomes like this work it's like oh and it's some people in their mind they're like oh i have to like take time to do this whereas like if they were just to

You know, do some of these structured exercise snacks.
