So you probably know you can build muscle, you can strengthen muscle, but did you know you could build your joints? Today, we're gonna talk about how you can bulletproof your joints So they don't hurt and you can work out for the rest of your life. Let's build your joints. That is correct. Like, like grow them. Oh yeah. So I'm glad, I'm glad you said that Adam. So that sounds really weird. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, we'll start with the first thing that has been shown to actually build and strengthen the joints. A lot of people think of the joints as, as these parts of your body that get worn down just through use, right? Like it's a hinge on a door. Like you got a hinge on a door and if you keep opening and closing the door over years and years and years, it wears down the hinge and it starts to become a problem.
That's actually not how your joints work. Your joints, like the rest of your body, like much of the rest of your body, adapt and strengthen. Now, I do want to say this because someone's going to say – I know this for sure. Someone's thinking or yelling right now at their phone. They're going to think, yeah, but I'm a lot older now. That's not true. Like my joints don't feel like they used to. There is, like there is in the rest of the body, as you get older – your body does start to decline in terms of its ability to adapt and functionality and all that stuff. So obviously an 80-year-old with healthy joints is not going to have the same kind of joints that he had when he was 20. That being said, an 80-year-old –
with healthy joints, has far better joints than the typical 80-year-old. And how they got those healthy joints is through a lot of things that we're going to be talking about today.
Now, is that the same, similar correlation as like with muscle for the comparison, right? That's right. Someone could say that because, oh, of course, you know, when I was 20 and healthy and fit, it's not the same as when I was 80.
