42 years later and apparently the instructions have changed.⁠ ⁠ Stretch first. Hydrate. Maybe make a noise when you stand up.⁠ Then cut loose.⁠ Age doesn’t kill the party. It just adds a warm-up.⁠ ⁠ What’s your non-negotiable pre-game stretch these days?

@jmb_rue It was not 42 years ago; it was absolutely 20. 42 is WAY too big a number.

@simplifiedmidlife Pretending 42 years hasn’t passed. 🙌🏼

@thebren.da HOW TF was that 42 yrs ago?? Dear lord…..

@mac_n_yoda I took a single innocuous step two weeks ago, my ankle popped, and it hasn’t been the same since, even after two massages and PT. Footloose would put me in traction.

@angiedawn1975 Correct! This 51 yr old did not stretch her calves before playing pickleball…resulting in a grade 2 muscle tear and a moonboot! I was WAY too footloose that day 😂
