A period of noticeably fewer serious injuries occurred while practicing Yoga postures daily. Also, my most serious skateboarding injuries occurred when I had no warm-up at all.
I consider myself lucky I've had very little nervous-system or connective-tissue damage. Also, I've noticed the pain and stress of the most serious injuries are neutralized by a healthy adrenal system.

The brave man rejoices in giving and taking hard knocks, and the brave man is joyous.... He understands that the only joy worth while is the joy of continual victory, and victory itself would become as tame as croquet if it were not spiced by equally continual defeat.ALEISTER CROWLEY
