What I was thinking about...

when kind of reading the paper and like talking about it with you is how it would categorize, like let's say someone was like doing bicep curls, right?

Because your wrist is moving, but you're not really walking.

You're not really moving distance wise.

So is that something that would be picked up by this device and considered and what bucket would it be?

Because like some people can be like moving fast, right?

Considering that.

Yeah.

I mean, considering that, because, you know, a lot of times when people hear the word vigorous intensity activity, they're not really thinking of resistance training.

So maybe like you can give some examples.

At least I know the study laid out some examples with respect to what's actually considered vigorous.

you know, vigorous versus moderate versus light.

And then obviously we talked about what examples are considered that for the health guidelines, but they're pretty similar.

Yeah.

And I think it is important to point out like physical activity versus exercise, because people do typically when they think when they hear even physical activity, they think, you know, structured exercise.

It's a very I think a very common thought is structured exercise is physical activity, but it's not necessarily structured exercise includes it.

But it can also include all the things that you mentioned where you're playing with your kids or you're playing with your dog or you're sprinting up the stairs, you're walking to work or things like that.

Like this is all physical activity.

And that's what this is all capturing.

Right, right.
