0:00.0	Give me an example of somebody who's come to you. They're killing it in their job, they're ripped.
0:04.5	They have enough zeros in the account to think that they know something.
0:07.1	Yeah. And they come to you because they've seen you and read, you know, read about you and,
0:11.2	you know, Dr. Atia's book or what have you. And you have to throw them something. What does that look like?
0:18.2	They usually get angry.
0:23.6	I have a very different mindset on what fit is.
0:26.6	Like cool, you're lean, you got a lot of muscle, but like you move, like it's like when activities that are like a three look like a 12, that is not fit.

1:19.2	What really stood out to me is how she highlights the critical role that flexibility and movement
1:23.8	play in our overall health. We tend to focus so much on burning fat or building muscle,
1:29.2	but Beth reminds us that true physical wellness goes beyond that.
1:32.9	Moving well in our bodies leads to longevity and reduces the risk of injury,
1:37.6	something we can all really benefit from.
1:39.7	We want to do this for as long as we can, which means forever.
1:43.6	Welcome to the Gabby Rees Show. Let's go.
