Dr. Kelly Starrett

And Nobody ever says what I want to do when I retire is get into my lazy boy and watch CNN for the rest of my life. That's not something anyone ever tells him. Everybody comes to him with things they want to do that involve movement. That could be totally varying, right?

It could be like Kelly and I, our movement goal when we're 80 is to be able to still comfortably be able to ski and mountain bike. But for many people, they want to be able to travel or play with their grandkids or be able to manage walking around Disneyland for a day, right? Everybody has these movement goals.

And if you haven't kept an eye on this key thing that is range of motion, this wide open hallway, and your hallway is constricted to the point where you can't get up and down off the ground or extend your hip or put your arms over your head, you are not likely going to be able to do those things you want to do as you age because

And now maybe you think you don't need to care about it because you're 35 years old, but having that native range of motion is going to help you do more, work harder as an athlete, feel better in your body, hopefully experience less pain. So there's a benefit now, but there's a huge benefit to keeping that hallway wide open.

And Kelly mentioned this earlier. I mean, you know, I think we have been told that aging is just this sort of like downhill, like we're all just going downhill and then we die, right? But range of motion is actually something that shouldn't have to change as we age, right? If you keep an eye on it, unlike, you know, everybody's going to lose a little bit of muscle mass.

Like there are some things that are going to happen at the rate at which they happen. We can certainly control with our behavior. But range of motion actually should be able to stay constant throughout our lifetime.

Yeah. I mean, like your grandma being case in point, right? Like if she can squat and get up and down off the ground and her preference is to do ground-based things like sweeping on the ground, she's been able to maintain that range of motion by doing those things. But the other key point I want to make is it's actually not too late.
