And we're saying, keep doing it.

It matters.

It adds up.

And I'm totally with you on, you know, these...

these Vilpa studies, these vigorous, intermittent lifestyle, physical activity studies have really changed my mind as well.

I was probably less of a snob than you because you're an endurance athlete, but I was somewhat of a snob thinking like, no, you have to like, you have to have structured time and like, you know, get your heart rate up and really like dedicate time to this.

And, and these studies are,

even at first, I was kind of like, well, how is it, you know, okay, let's say 10, 10 minutes a day, you're doing that every day.

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.
