You can do some sport. That helps. At least at 30.

Until you sport too much and get an injury, and then it's just a chain reaction of things breaking down because you can't exercise them like you used to.

Yeah it's a terrible feeling giving up a sport bc it's too hard on ya. Like I really love Judo but I just can't throw myself at the floor repeatedly any more. But I might be able to do Aikido or low-contact Karate (or just strength training which is what I chose). The trick is knowing when to move on, and it's a tough decision.

Aikido will not over extend your joints, if you have trouble with even safe falls I can't imagine the instructor would require you to do them.

I'd say workout, yoga, lift heavy thing.

Sports only if you actually enjoy them. Most people I know heavily into sports get injured and some of injuries do not heal back to 100% ever.

This here! You want "low impact" activity that keeps the supporting muscles strong

+1 for yoga. Stretching is just as important, but so many people completely neglect it

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stretching every day even if I haven't done a workout has really rehabilitated my 40s.
