Here’s something controversial: I’m a strength and conditioning specialist in my 50s, a competitive athlete, and I don’t have a stretching routine. Yet I don’t pull muscles, strain hamstrings, or tweak my back. Why?
In this episode of HealthSpan Digest, I unpack the stretching debate:
- The real science behind flexibility and injury prevention
- Why most people stretch with the wrong expectations
- How to build mobility through strength (and why that matters more)
- When stretching actually helps—and when it doesn’t
- One thing you can do today to protect your joints and extend your healthspan
Whether you’re a busy professional, middle-aged parent, or weekend warrior, this episode gives you the clarity and tools to train smarter—not just stretch longer.
🎯 The ONE Thing: Train your mobility with strength—not just passive stretching.
