Avoiding injury is kinda how bodies degrade. Obviously I don't me major injuries but the body heals in counter intuitive ways. So anyways, this is how.
Get a decent set of exercise bands. I have 5lbs all the way up to multiple 100lbs ones. They are relatively cheap, light and highly mobile.
I'm in my 40s and I'm really glad I got into martial arts back in my 20s and kept up with it.
Walk a lot with the dog, also stretch!!!! Before doing any big exercise. It would have been better to stretch when you were younger but it still helps. Also just exercise and eat healthy
Military Service. I just don't have to pay for pain meds and I still get to fall apart over time!
Have kids. Try to be a good dad not just a father.
You will stay very active...
They keep me so tired.
Time to start paying attention to the protein content of your meals. Joint issues are often postural tho
