YMMV

I lift on the regular, train with a PT that specializes in mobility and strength who works with pro athletes. If I don't adhere to a nightly, consistent stretching regiment before bed that includes a bit of yoga and a number of other key movements, I sleep like poo.

Highly recommend the book; Becoming a Supple Leopard [1]

I am actually familiar with that book since my hobby is running and it involves a fair amount of flexibility, soft tissue issues in general, etc.

So I do stretch and do mobility work especially hips, legs, shoulders, and take care of my posture and feet etc.

But it is a time commitment, and I do think that strength training is the first thing someone should focus on. Fixing issues from constant sitting is also a whole other topic.

I have that book, it's ok, but its ridiculously large, like a bible.

It's hard to imagine it couldn't be a bit more simplified.
