And to get down to the whitewater rafts in Bali, we had to walk down and then up again about 100 meters of stairs. And as I went down those stairs, I had one of those moments that it sounds like you had at the funeral where I realized that my dad could not walk down these stairs. He couldn't walk down them and he couldn't walk up them.

No, that's a really good point because they're two different training systems. And then the reason why that was so important was because of the great time I had in the whitewater raft with my girlfriend. So going down that lake through Bali, and I thought, gosh, if I'm not careful and I don't think about this, I won't be able to have these experiences when I'm 60.

what was involved in being in the raft. Yeah, so a lot of strength required to row, to keep us away from the rocks, to push us off when we got stuck, fall in the water, get it back in the boat.

And it took a long time. We were out there for two hours going through this lake. So the other thing I think about is Christmas, and I think about my nieces. So my brother's a year older than me, and he has three kids under the age of six. And you know what that's like. These kids just sprint off in every direction. And they'll say to my dad, they'll say, come and play in the garden.

and my dad um wouldn't be able to play with them in the garden the way that they would want to play in the garden running around and being chased around so my dad just watches them from the kitchen and so these are just obviously all the emotional things come to mind first because those are the things that stay with us and i'll give you one more um

The other thing that comes to mind as a man is just being able to protect my family. And I don't necessarily mean wrestle an intruder, but I mean like lift things. And if something falls, being able to pick it up and move it. So those are the things that come to mind first and foremost. It's protection, it's memories, it's activities that create relationships and connection.

Part of the reason why I think people don't care enough is because they see aging as inevitable. So they look at their parents, their grandparents and go – They're immobile. They can't function properly. That's my destiny. It's genetic.

Springs to mind this graph I saw the other day, which I'd sent to my friends, which shows that the decline, I think it was in muscle mass from when you're 30. And it makes the point that there's this line on this graph called disability. And it shows that people who didn't have enough muscle mass when they were 30 cross the line of disability when they're 70.

And those that did have more muscle mass at 30 don't get close to that line. So that for me was shocking because it goes to show that what I do now is going to determine whether I'm, by all intents and measures, disabled when I'm 70 or if I'm able.

52. What do you wish someone had told you when you were 32? I'm 32 years old. What do you wish someone had screamed in your face and told you when you were my age?
