What was so interesting is there's another study that really was a VILPA study.
When I say VILPA, again, people, I'm talking about vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity.
This isn't going to the gym and doing Peloton.
This is just your movement throughout the day being as measured with an accelerometer.
the benefits were equivalent to people that were doing structured exercise, right?
So there was like 62,000 people who actually did exercise and they compared that to people that were doing Vilpa.
And it was crazy, but the same outcomes in terms of risk reduction, it was comparable.
And I love that.
I love it so much because it really...
It really shows that your body doesn't care if it's structured exercise or not.
It just wants the movement.
It just wants the movement.
So super important to point out.
And I was talking to someone yesterday about this who, you know, is interested in health and wants to be healthy, but like hates exercise.
And their response was 30%.
Thank God.
Like, the running with my dog that I'll, like, do in bursts or, like, with my kid, like, counts.
And I think that's important because it's not that we're disincentivizing people to not engage in structured exercise.
We're rewarding people who do this unstructured exercise.
