listen. Shout out to the first black
0:03
mayor that we just got in Detroit, Mary
0:04
Sheffield. Love you all. Have a great
0:10
Yep. She must have knew you was up next.
0:12
Mike, you got a question?
0:14
Yeah, my mayor mayor elect Sheffield.
0:16
Congratulations to you. Um, yes, doc. I
0:19
have a question for you. I I I heard
0:21
something recently that helped me change
0:23
my mindset on working out. I was already
0:26
actively working out, but there was a
0:28
mindset. And someone said, Mike, I'm
0:29
working out for my future self. Um, and
0:32
so if you could talk a little bit more
0:33
about the importance of that. I think we
0:35
always think working out for short term,
0:37
immediate results, immediate goals. But
0:39
can you talk to us about when you turn
0:43
Yes. Yes. Yes. So every decade that we
0:47
all age, if we don't exercise
0:50
consistently, if we're not eating or at
0:52
least striving to eating eating a little
0:54
healthier, our bodies are changing.
0:56
There's age related changes where you're
0:59
losing muscle mass, you're losing bone
1:01
density. Hormonal shifts are happening.
1:03
Whether you're a man or a woman, how do
1:05
we combat that? Exercise. Exercise is
1:08
one of the things that allow us to
1:09
prevent frailty. Exercise is one of the
1:11
things that allows us to prevent
1:12
anything related to osteoporosis.
1:16
We need to exercise. And if we look at
1:19
it from a simple term for my background,
1:21
physical therapy, one of the things we
1:23
look at is walking speed to and that
1:25
correlates to how healthy an individual
1:27
is over time. If we look in like our
1:29
elderly population, if they have a lower
1:31
walking speed, that is an indicator of
1:34
like I don't want to say near death, but
1:38
that is an indicator that things aren't
1:39
going well essentially.
1:41
So, if you were right now, regardless of
1:44
what your age is, lay on the ground and
1:45
try to get up without using your hands.
1:48
If that is a struggle, imagine how you
1:49
would feel 10 to 20 years from now
1:52
without exercising, without eating
1:56
If you, God forbid, that you have a
1:58
fall, how are you getting up?
2:00
Wait, when you say lay on the ground,
2:01
you mean like on your back?
2:03
Yep. Lay on your back and try to get
2:05
just try to stand up.
2:06
Let me see what you mean, man. Can you
2:07
demonstrate that? Is that possible?
2:12
Look at that. Uh, you demonstrate, Sway.
2:15
And And while he's doing that right now,
2:17
we we're all going to learn something
2:19
right now. Suede just looked at the
2:24
Oh, wow. Are we able to do this?
2:27
That was five seconds.
2:28
Not without sounding like somebody
2:30
cracking a bag of walnuts around here.
2:34
I know you could do it, bro.
2:37
All right. Okay. What did you do?
2:39
Just get up when you can't use your
2:41
Just get up without using your hands.
2:50
No, he used his hands. I'm No, he used
2:53
Oh, use his hands. He uses palms, too.
2:57
Doc, just because you on his show,
2:59
you'll be back. Don't worry. I I got
3:00
you. I'll make sure you come back. You
3:01
don't have to be nice.
3:02
What does that mean that I couldn't
3:06
It just gives you something to work on
3:08
am I nearing death? No. Not at all.
3:11
Not at all. But it gives you something
3:12
to work on of, okay, maybe there's areas
3:15
where I'm lacking in mobility now.
3:17
Maybe there's areas where now I need to
3:19
start stretching a little more. Now I
3:20
need to start exercising a little more
3:22
so that I can make my body more
3:23
resilient for the things that happen
