  Speaker 2: Hey John, I think I'm finally thawing out.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Wearing a comfy sweater. I'm wearing a comfy sweater. This
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is a good time, you hear to wear sweaters.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been very chilly and we'd may not even realize,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you know, what that cold really does to our bodies.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It can be dangerously cold. So, like, if you're outside
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in the cold weather when it was as cold as
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it was early this week, if it's like that, you
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: probably don't want to be outside for a long time,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: but you still want to stay active. So how do
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you do that?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Right? It's so tempting just to curl up on the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: couch and or you know, stay in bed all day
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: because it's so cold. But we're designed to be mobile,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you know, That's why we're biped or we stand upright,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We're designed to move and walk and do these things.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, especially in the wintertime, we don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: do as much of that. Yeah, so I start to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: see more patients at or you know, oh, my back's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: starting to hurt more. My neck's been more achy lately.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I haven't done anything. Well, that's probably the thing you
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: haven't really done much like you get.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: All ten stuff too. When it's cold and I feel
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like you're just a different body like posture, right.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So, you know, kind of a PSA is you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: keep moving. You maybe need to go to the gym
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: for a few days. If you're not outside walking you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: even just hop on a treadmill, go for a little
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: bit of a walk, or like a stationary bike or
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: something like that. Or if you want to do movement
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in your home, you can do you know, bodies weight
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: kind of exercises. Yoga is always really good. You don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: have to do like an intense yoga workout or anything
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: like that, just moving and stretching and keeping your muscles
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know, warm, and your your joints, you know, limbered,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: because that's going to help you not get so tense
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and achy and stiff and stiff and cold.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Heidi and I did some yoga together, hot yoga actually together,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and Heidi is very bendy. I am not bendy at all.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That tends to be kind of the stereotype men tend
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to lose their flexibility as you get older, and especially
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: if you didn't keep up with it when you were younger.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: What if I didn't have any to.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Start with, you know, I don't know if to tell
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you at that point, I'm just.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Kind of a stiff, poring dude. No, Heidi, we're doing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, bend over, do this. I'm like, how
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: are you doing that? Like I can't, Like, this is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: as far as I can bend. But I think it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: really good for you though, isn't it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's great for blood flow, emphatic drainage,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know, just moving like, you know, getting the fluids
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: in your body moving, getting your muscles warmed up, put
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit stretch in your hips and your knees,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: just you know, it's good to have a little bit
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of a stretch and the otherwise they get stiff and achy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'll try it again. I guess now
