HEADLEE: ...Yeah. FLORIDA: ...And those little changes, riding a bike not taking a car, walking to the grocery store, and doing, you know, not heavy weight training but a little bit of weight training, watching what I eat, has made a world of difference... HEADLEE: ...OK.
FLORIDA: ...But I think that living in an active city, and the other thing, just last, it's great to be in a place wescalator all ages, not only ethnicities, get together.
