I want to know your opinion about like going to the gym every day, maybe five times a week. Because we have this in Romania. Probably you have this also in United States, where people just get like a gym membership. They go to the gym, they are exercising, all like the same big muscle groups. Is this a good behavior or is there anything better we can do?
Number one, over all, movement is critical and we should be moving as humans. There is non exercise activity thermogenesis. And when you think about what it is to be healthy, I think the outcome that we're looking for is long lifespan. That lifespan should be one that is well maintained and healthy. Right? Nobody wants to live the last 20 years in a nursing home. So when I think about what is the outcome that we are pushing towards, the outcome that we are pushing towards is maintaining strength, flexibility, mobility, endurance for as long as possible with the outcome of how are we living in a way where we are not at risk of losing our activities of daily living. And also how are we not getting disease of the chronic Western society? And so when I think about that, then I think about, okay, well, what do we have to do to make that happen? Because there's a million different ways to work out in a million different settings.
