That's nuts.
And then the last big, I would say, headline here with respect to comparing vigorous to moderate is cancer mortality.
So for every one minute of vigorous intensity physical activity, you had to spend about 3.4 or 3.5 minutes doing moderate intensity physical activity to get the same reduction in cancer mortality.
Still underestimating, you know, if you're looking at the physical activity guidelines, underestimating the effect that vigorous intensity physical activity has on every single health outcome.
You know, I mean, it's just...
I feel like if people were to think about it like this, they would get so much more dopamine from their like more vigorous workouts where they would just be like, this is really doing something.
You know, this is really doing something beneficial for my overall health and for like the way I age.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Definitely.
We should talk about that.
And I 100% agree.
But before we get there...
Let's they're going to talk a little bit more about the insane difference between vigorous physical activity and light physical activity.
