So it's kind of interesting to look at the benefits of doing something like high-intensity interval training.

Now, you're not going to do 20 hours of HIIT.

I mean, that's impossible, right?

And like you were saying, burnout and things like that are also an issue, and you have to be able to space them out with

recovery.

But there are a lot of benefits to doing high intensity interval training, time efficiency, you get improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness.

We talked about that with even people that were doing regular, you know, low to moderate intensity exercise for 150 minutes a week.

They needed to really stress their system a little bit more above and beyond that to get improvements.

Not everyone, but a large percentage of them did.

And then there's also some brain benefits that are also really

I don't want to say uniquely associated with high-intentional interval training or vigorous exercise, but also the benefits are associated with the lactate that you're producing, which does come with increasing exercise intensity, right?

So if people are time-limited and they want to combine some zone 2 training with

With HIIT, like, can you combine them in one session?

Like, can you, I was talking about, you know, with you the other day, like, sometimes I'll go for, I'll do some, my jog, or I'll do like a zone two workout.

And then I'll add in some intervals, right, where I'm like going, going pretty hard for a certain amount of time.

And then I kind of go back to a slower pace where I can have a talk test after my heart rate comes down a little bit.

Yeah.

Well, going back to our goals, you know, I did mention brain health and lowering dementia risk.

I often also just, a lot of my workouts are geared towards like brain health and not even just thinking about long-term brain health and, you know, delaying dementia, delaying brain atrophy, delaying all those, you know, brain age-related diseases, but also just like mental health, like how I feel and feeling good.

And it's clear to me, like after I do a
