I spend a lot of time sitting, a lot of us spend a lot of time sitting, people that listen to this podcast know that I've become over the years really interested in these exercise snacks or actually, as you call them, movement snacks.

And I just want to take a moment to give you and Juliette.

props because you guys have been talking about these for, you know, I don't even know how long now.

It's been about almost a decade, maybe.

You've been, you know, it's been quite a few years.

You guys were ahead of the curve talking about the importance of, you know, breaking up your day with moving, moving throughout the day and how it's not just about spending that one hour, you know, block of time at the gym.

And we're trying to make up, we're trying to overcompensate for our modern day lifestyle, which is very sedentary.

But, you know, there's so much data that has come out even in the last five years.

And this is where my attention – I really became drawn to this literature where –

It's undeniable that even people that are taking advantage of everyday life situations, so they're not even necessarily doing these structured exercise movements or these structured exercise snacks where they're getting up and doing body weight squats for two minutes or something like that.

They're just going around and they live on the third floor.

I'm sorry, they could live on the third floor of the building or they could work on the third floor of a building.

Either way, they take the stairs to get to that third floor.

They don't just take the stairs.

They sprint up them.

They're really going fast.

Or they're taking time to play tag with their kids or their grandkids or, you know, sprint around with their new puppy.

Whatever it is, this is everyday situations.

They're, you know, they live in the city and they're not taking Uber.

You know, they're walking briskly to get to wherever they need to go, shopping or to work, right?
