I’m in that demographic hah. It really does protect you from injuries, make you more resilient, and improve your health markers. My cholesterol, blood pressure and everything else related to the heart are perfect, in a family riddled with heart disease. Chronic lower back pain all but gone (herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, arthritis and lumbar lordosis…) honestly I feel better than in my 20s
Oh yeh I 100% know it is beneficial and like you I have staved off issues my family seem to all suffer with by strengthening and generally staying fit. However the last couple of years I have broken each foot (1 running and the other kick boxing) and coming into my third year of different shoulder problems.
I’m seeing a physio and sorting it all out but in my 20s and early 30s I was either lucky or just didn’t seem to get injured. Now it looks like it will be a regular occurrence and it is super demotivating. I will however, not give up, every time an injury stops me from doing one thing I’ll pick up another in the meantime!
