Joints degenerate if you don't exercise them. Without movement, your joints will not receive sufficient nourishment because they do not have a direct blood supply. The cartilage will begin to erode, the shock-absorbing capacity of the joints will diminish, and the supporting ligaments and muscles will weaken.

It's never too late to start exercising.
