Thinking about how we used to ignore knee aches on the job
Honestly, back in the day, we'd just push through the soreness after a shift. Now, I take time to warm up and wear knee pads, which helps a lot.

That warm-up and pad routine is serious protection for your future mobility.

Absolutely! Seeing friends my age already having trouble with simple things really drives it home. My neighbor can't pick up her toddler without her knees hurting because she never stretched after runs. I've started doing five minutes of light stretches before even unloading groceries, and wow what a difference. It feels silly sometimes but future me will be grateful to still bend down for garden weeds without groaning.
