So those would be the structure types of exercise snacks.
There's also the unstructured type where people just throughout their daily activities that they're doing will engage in an exercise snack.
So these are called vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity or VILPA.
And this is typically someone who, let's say their office is on the third or fourth floor of a building and they sprint up the stairs.
They go fast up the stairs, maybe not technically sprint because a coach would be like, no way.
And you're right, but no way.
But they're going fast.
They're not just walking.
They're going fast.
Their heart rate's getting up.
And they do that multiple times a day.
Or they walk.
And instead of just walking, they're really briskly walking.
They're going really fast, right?
And there's other examples of this sort of unstructured type of, you know, house cleaning sometimes, right?
People are like going around and vacuuming and they're kind of fast.
Like, you know, I've seen that being the case as well.
So there's a lot of types of unstructured exercise that can be done.
And there's a variety of benefits that are associated with this sort of these exercise snacks.
