Just to think about how you move, how you move.
It's as simple as that.
If I do this, you hold a dumbbell and you do that.
I will make this muscle stronger.
Okay?
But I think to just start very simply.
Do you have stairs in your house somewhere?
Climb the stairs.
And what I would do with my mother.
I would get behind maker, climb stairs.
Behind her, and she climb up.
We turn around.
She put her hands on my shoulders.
We would.
We would come back down.
Okay.
If you're going to climb stairs.
Hold the railing.
Climb the stairs.
If you have to stop and rest for a minute.
Stop and rest.
But keep going.
Climbing stairs is an excellent exercise, and it's just natural.
People tend to I. I tend to balk at.
At the notion of showing people some exercise because they're not going to do that because they're estranged from that, like, you know, unless it's coming from them.
Okay.
But somebody who is disinterested would be like, yeah, I can climb more stairs.
Yeah, I can do that.
But they're not going to be interested now in somebody showing them, well, do some of these.
Do something.
The now the only person who's interested in that is a person who's seeking that out.
And that's fine if they're seeking it out.
But if they're seeking it out and they know they know where to get the information and how to do that.
So I always like to keep things remarkably simple.
Walk, climb stairs, carry things around the house.
Like I said, get a get a box of books, pick it up and carry it.
You're working your shoulders, your arms.
Okay.
You're also working your legs because they have to support this.
Now, don't do that on the stairs.
Hold the railing on the stairs.
We climb the stairs.
Set a goal.
I'm going to climb the stairs up and down ten times a day.
Then add to it ten times, 15 times, 20 times.
And they don't have to be all at once.
Just keep a little marker.
How'd you do today?
I climb stairs 20 times a day.
If you did that, if you did that, you would be retaining a lot of your strength.
And it's very simple.
