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.

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.
