Why does muscle tension increase with age (without you noticing) and why do you therefore urgently need to move?
Can you remember how you felt as a child? Bouncing around easily, chasing after a ball, jumping rope with ease? You can still do things like that (more or less) even when you’re older!
Don’t let anyone tell you that getting older makes us stiff and immobile. No, it’s caused by daily increases in muscle tension. Where does this come from? The culprit is our fight/flight behaviour from primitive times, which prepares the organism for tension by releasing adrenaline whenever it is challenged. This made a lot of sense in the wild, but is pretty pointless for most everyday challenges.
You want to know how you can prevent muscle tension from increasing year after year? It’s simple: you reduce muscle tension in a targeted manner again and again – with movement.
