It's, it is, it is every morning.

And, and if I, if I don't get to, if I take off an hour of what would be my work time, so be it because that's, what's going to happen.

I'm going to exercise.

Yeah.

Well, let's talk a little bit about some of Dr. Levine's research on getting into that, starting into that late middle age, age 50.

And this was a very...

He calls it one of the most cited or viewed at, I guess, viewed on the website in journal circulation studies of all time.

And rightly so.

I think it's a pretty astounding study.

It was a two-year intervention trial where he took 50-year-olds.

Him and his colleagues took 50-year-olds that were otherwise healthy but sedentary.

I would argue that's not healthy if they're sedentary.

It is a disease.

But they don't have any other identified diseases like cardiovascular disease or hypertension, for example.

But they had been sedentary.

And he put them on a two-year exercise protocol, which maybe you can discuss in a minute, that was pretty intense.

And

They looked at the structure of their heart before starting this protocol.

And then two years after this exercise protocol, they looked at their hearts again and found that in many aspects, like the cardiac compliance and a variety of different parameters that they looked at, the size of the heart and the stiffness, right, the stretchiness of the heart.

in many aspects had reversed in terms of their aging.
