Right.

Like, you know, some examples would be, again, like you could just do some jumping jacks or I don't know if you want to get into any of those.

Yeah.

My favorite snacks that I do is are just actually air squats and doing three minutes of air squats burns like you don't have to have any weight.

It's like a different kind of ouch, you know, than like lift like heavy lifting, which I also do.

And, you know, you just you can again, you just like you don't even need any equipment.

You just get up and do them.

But it's nice to know that it's like, OK, three minutes.

Well, if we're talking about reducing my cardiovascular disease mortality, you can multiply that by eight because that's how much time I just spent doing moderate intensity physical activity.

Or let's say you only do one minute.

Again, multiply it by eight.

It really puts things in perspective.

And I think these sort of short bouts of structured exercise snacks or these vigorous intensity physical activities that we're doing, running with our kids or dogs or whatever, running up the stairs, all these things now, I think...

We've talked about them before and all the benefits, you know, but now I think we can even put numbers to them, right, where we can start to go, oh, I just, you know, this is really like worth eight times the amount of moderate intensity that I really did save time.

Dopamine, okay, reinforcement, I'm going to continue to do that, right?

The behavior is going to be repeated.

I challenge people like to what Brady just said.

I mean, a minute if you just go for a minute leisure stroll, just walk for one minute and compare that to how you feel after doing just one minute of air squats, right?

or burpees, if you really want to, you are going to see the difference.

They're not equivalent.
