And so people actually live like this, believe it or not now.

It is something that people still do.

And researchers have studied these people by putting accelerometers on their wrist and studying how fast they are, these intentional types of movements that they're getting throughout the day.

And even vigorous housework, right?

To some degree, people are moving around if they're vacuuming really or mopping or something like that is, I would say more moderate intensity, but they can get their heart rate up and they're moving, right?

They're moving around.

And really, I think the data is clear and repeatable where individuals that are doing these short bursts of exercise, if they're doing three minutes of it, three minute bouts of it, three times a day, so a total of nine minutes a day, that's a 50% lower cardiovascular related mortality, 50% lower cardiovascular related mortality, 40% lower all cause mortality, 40% lower cancer related mortality.

And this is even in individuals that don't define themselves or identify as people that actually exercise because they're like, no, I don't go to the gym.

No,

don't exercise, but they do exercise.

They just don't realize that they're in these moments, right?

So you get props because you've been talking about this.

You and Juliet both get props.

You've been talking about this and really emphasizing the importance of movement throughout the day for a long time.

So thank you for that public health service.

Um, and let's talk about how, you know, some people that perhaps they don't have a puppy or they're not a parent or they don't live on the third floor of a gym.

And unfortunately they use Instacart because they need to, you know, work more, whatever their situation is, they're, they're desk bound, right?

That's the title of one of your bestselling books, right?

So how can individuals take, you know, time to get up and get these movement snacks, these exercise snacks?

Yeah.
