Hello listeners. I hope everyone is doing well this week. As those of you that tune in regularly

will know, this is my last ever episode in my guise of the Get Fit Guy. For new listeners, the great news is there's a two year and eight

month backlog of my yapping for you to catch up on and several years before that of different

get fit guys. We're like Doctor Who every few years we respawn. So now the end is near and together we face the final curtain.

What would my last words to y'all be? Well, I haven't really thought about it because I do

prefer to be genuine and kind of off the cuff. So I'm just freestyle tapping this out on my

MacBook. So first of all, it's to say, the one malady with which we are all

afflicted is mortality. Since none of us know what is on the other side of that, then it's normal and

natural for us to want to extend the time that we spent here on this side of the veil. And the best way that we have to do that

is by improving our fitness because this impacts our longevity. There are mountains of data

on the benefits of strength training and the benefits of aerobic work on the body. These training

interventions decrease all-cause

mortality rates. Of that, there is no doubt. That's my first premise. The second premise is that all

life on earth that is currently existing exists because it was best suited for survival on earth. Those species that were less

well suited died out. This is the meaning of survival of the fittest. Fittest in the sense of biology

means resisting the dangers of the world long enough to reproduce and continue your species. Being well suited for

life on earth is an adaptation that occurred across time. There was environmental stressors that

occurred. Organisms adapted to the new stressors. We know this is how things work because it's how

we all acquire new skills. If you want to play the piano, then there's a necessary condition that has to be met. That condition is you have to actually practice playing a piano. More practice also normally results in faster adaptations and more complex practice results in higher skill level.

So the conclusion from these premises is entirely deductive,

which is that the conclusion has to follow and is never in doubt.

So to summarize it neatly,
