    Old geezers?? Ouch. Roadie, that's kinda harsh! lol.

    Compared to Beeps, I'm probably as flexible as a stale pretzel, but count me in as another vote in favor of stretching and foam rolling. If I don't do enough of it, my risk of injury goes way up.

    I recently set up a Stretch/Foam Roll/Yoga playlist and have gotten into a daily habit of doing a nice easy routine that lasts through 3-4 songs. That way, I don't rush the process and have come to really enjoy the sessions. I've also started looking for YouTube Yoga channels, since I can't seem to get to a Yoga studio to establish a regular practice.

    Namaste, Kids.

    I stretch every day after my workout for 10-20 minutes. Not only do I feel better being a bit more flexible, having my flexibility can do a LOT to prevent injuries when I crash - flying and tumbling at 100mph and limbs can go lots of interesting directions LOL.

    CG Strength and Agility today. Another fun one. It was No Weight Wednesday. It's amazing how hard you can work with just body weight exercises, including box jumps! I was whooped, but I still had to get home...on my bike...that was a very long, slow 3-mile ride today, lol!

    I spent the rest of the day in the workshop, so to keep from getting stiff I went back out for a 3-mile recovery run in the afternoon. It feels good to be training again!

    My deload week got started a couple days early - my knees kept complaining the rest of the day yesterday, and I'm at the track all weekend, so decided my light week would start today with a rest day then back to my lighter plan for the next week.

    Annoying in a way, but to be fair to my body, it's actually held up pretty well the past few months with what I've put it through, so I can't really complain too much.

    Dang, girl! I see your avatar photo and I miss riding. Then I read this post and remember why I stopped. Be safe out there!

    Hahaha, honestly, my worst "affect me for the rest of my life" injury I got on 12/3/16 (and STILL rehabbing it, it'll never be 100% again) on a friggin' KX140 dirt bike at like 6mph - I can toss the race bike at 100 and tumble forever to walk away with a couple bruises, but a dirt bike.....plus now there's cool things like air bag suits (got a D-Air Mugello for this season...kind of afraid the next crash may be spectacular LOL!

    True, QuikDogs!

    Roadie2000 - I do stretch for about 10-15 mins after every workout. But have also decided 1 x yoga per week is a really good overall stretch (in case I fast-pace it in my daily cooldowns).

    I am flexible and do have good mobility, but STILL I notice the weeks that i miss yoga!! No bueno.

    Agree!

    Was away for work last week, which totally set me back. Sitting in a car for 7 hours, then in a conference for 5+ more hours just wears me out! By the time I got home mid week, I got one run in and then was out of town again. UGH! Since then, it just seems life keeps getting in the way. I NEED to get back on track, as I was doing so well. Am sure feeling the difference, and it ain't good.

    Hi from a fellow Zumba instructor! I'm using MFP to eat healthier. I find it especially useful to log my dinner before I eat it. That way, I still have an opportunity to make changes....
