When I was younger, I never stretched. And I pay for that now.. Now I am doing lots of yoga and stretching, but its hard work to regain mobility. But I am with you about the deep stretches.. And the combination sounds interesting.. Also, when you see old people in the street, they are often stiff and show signs of not being very mobile. I am putting in a good effort to avoid getting stiff in my old age. Stay flexible and mobile :)
That sounds like a good plan to me. I think it’s easy to underestimate the role of mobility for healthspan purposes while focusing on strength, muscle mass, and endurance (though, I think all of those are important as well). I am definitely guilty of this but working to improve.
