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.

So some of the risks in the women, let's see if I can find that study.

Yeah, so it was a 45% lower risk of major cardiovascular events in women doing VILPA, and they were just doing 3.4 minutes per day.

So this is much less than nine minutes, as I just discussed.

So they were doing 3.4 minutes of VILPAs per day, and that's a 45% lower risk of major cardiovascular events, a 67% lower risk of heart failure compared to the women that weren't doing any of these physical activity bursts throughout the day.

And if you think about that, that's not a lot of time.

And we all have aging parents.

Just imagine if we could get them to do four minutes a day of some kind of vigorous intensity activity.

Now, maybe your parents are retired and they're not necessarily trying to get to the subway or the train or whatever.

It's going to be more of a structured exercise snack and

I'll let you kind of talk about some of that, but they can engage in jumping jacks or maybe chair squats or people that are maybe not older, they can do burpees or body weight squats or pushups, like a combination of all these things.

And we're talking about really having a pretty outsized effect on reducing some of these negative health outcomes.

And the other thing is, is that
