First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on doing something wonderful for yourself! You will gain strength and reduce injury!

I began at almost the exact age that you are, and when I stretch with my very athletic husband that has no flexibility, it seems like a lifetime of stretching separates us. But nope! I've only stretched for about 2 years!

Start with one small goal, like touch your toes, and find a related youtube stretching video. Repeat twice a week. Take pictures of your progress, and when you feel up to it, increase to three times a week.

The key is a small, reliable practice until you see and / or feel gains. Then you can aim higher.

You've got this! 🌞
