00:00 My physician asked me, "Do you have a history of heart disease in your family?"
00:03 I go, "Well, my dad had a heart attack when he was 56,
00:06 and actually his dad had a heart attack when he was 56,
00:09 so I've always thought I should set aside that whole year,
00:12 get an Airbnb by the hospital, and keep a flexible schedule.
00:18 I think that might be a big year for me."
00:20 She said, "Well, based on your family history,
00:24 I would recommend you do cardio five days a week."
00:27 And I said, "I don't think anybody does cardio
00:29 five days a week."
00:30 She said, "A lot of people do cardio five days a week."
00:35 I said, "I don't even think professional athletes do cardio five days a week."
00:38 She said, "Professional athletes definitely do cardio five days a week."
00:42 We talked about this for about 45 minutes.
00:44 We agreed to disagree.
00:49 She said, "What about swimming?"
00:52 I'll be better than I was before, a natural.
