Without adequate rest, sleep, hydration, and nutrition, my body doesn’t have the opportunity to repair itself, which can lead to fatigue, injury, and even regression in progress. Balancing my effort with recovery is the key to sustainable improvement, especially for Elder Beasts who may need longer recovery times to maintain resilience and overall health.
Yes, injury is indeed one of the biggest setbacks for me in maintaining an active lifestyle. As I have aged, recovery takes longer, and my body’s resilience to physical stress decreases. Injuries not only limit my mobility but can also lead to a loss of confidence in physical activity, which can create a cycle of reduced fitness and increased risk of further injuries. That’s why I inclide preventive measures like proper warm-ups, low-impact exercises, balance training, and, as Isaid before, adequate recovery. A careful approach to fitness keeps my body strong and reduces the risk of injury, allowing me to stay active and maintain my quality of life longer.
