Flexibility and Longevity

A dedicated stretching practice is essential for improving limb range of motion and maintaining flexibility, especially as we age. Flexibility tends to decline significantly after age 20, with a notable decrease of about 10% every decade. Lifestyle factors, such as yoga and resistance training, can positively influence flexibility, but it's crucial to avoid overextending, which can lead to injuries. Understanding these dynamics can help enhance your physical well-being and prevent injury.
