That's exactly the answer that I wanted to get from you. They would say stretching. There are at least three major systemic reviews that have looked at this. Stretching reduces injury risk everywhere from zero to 4%. Strength training reduces injury risk up to 69% and it's irrespective of body fat levels. It is a major difference in longevity and quality of life.

On average, starting in your 40s, we lose 0.5% of our muscle mass annually. It ramps up to 1% to 2% in our 50s. It reaches a staggering 3% in our 60s. Sarcopenia rates are so high. They're about 10% on average, but they are so high that they can reach 51% in certain subpopulations. The strength losses that we see are even more dramatic than the lean muscle losses themselves.

I think that if it can kickstart your flexibility journey and if it is emotionally beneficial for you, because I think a lot of people use it as kind of like a meditation time, that's perfectly fine. There's benefits to that. But one of the drawbacks that people present to me is that I really wanna be spending a good bit of my time with stretching because I wanna be flexible.
