I’m 57 and I bike 25 or 50 miles four days out of every five, and I work out at the gym every day. I had stretches when I was a decade or two younger where I did nothing but eat and smoke pot and I weighed forty to fifty pounds more than I do now; during those stretches I felt like I was 80 and hurt all over all the time. Sometimes older folks have severe injuries that prevent them from doing anything physical and the decay just adds up, but for a lot of people being sedentary creates the illusion that aging is unstoppable. Of course it is unstoppable ultimately, but you can sure as fuck do a lot to slow it down.
I’m 37 and about 6 months ago I woke up and my back and shoulder hurt like hell.
It got better when I moved around but it hurt a lot if I didn’t move my arm for a few minutes.
I tried median nerve flossing like in this video and it gradually got better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLQWy_M9Lso

I’d rather die running, but I recently had to quit because of arthritis in my knee. So I guess I’ll just have to die biking.
Just change it up, don’t always work out in the sagittal plane
Do yoga, that’s what I started doing after the back issue mentioned above and it has definitely helped.
