So far this is the closest comment to my thoughts:
- With age also brings wisdom and experience, which theoretically lets you skip much of the bumps, hurdles and difficulties that you probably fell prey to as a younger person.
- It also brings a better ability to understand the latest science in terms of healthy living, which would tend to suggest that you exercise on a regular basis, eat certain diets, and take better care of yourself in various ways.
- You have your years of prior life to theoretically build social networks, contacts, and support groups, and form relationships with people who best fit your needs and personality.
- Etc...

I have been told that the muscles change with age to become more “resistant” and less “explosive”. Meaning that as people age they have less explosive force but they can do exercise for longer. That’s why a lot of people get into running when they are 50.

Holy crap this is true but it makes it hard to run. I am great at yoga, have stability and strength, I do lift sometimes too, but so much slow twitch, losing agility and bounciness.
