This is actually incredibly interesting, thank you for sharing! Especially the part about losing 8% each decade. Yikes! Looks like I gotta dust off the doorframe pull-up bar and hang out more often.
We can’t share this information enough. Do we someday want to be one of those older people who fall down and break a hip because we are inflexible and weak?
My dad fell down before Christmas by the bed. He landed on the end table with his chest and was lying there on his back, unable to get up. Mom called my wife to come help and the two of them got him on the bed.

Hey Tiffany, great to see you find value in it.
And yes, that pull-up bar deserves some love from you😉

Without help, he would have lain there and died.
Hey Tim,
I’m relieved to hear your father was helped in time! Your story is similar to mine, but more severe.
We should do anything within our power to stay independent as long as possible.
