Flexibility is maybe one of the most misunderstood and neglected aspects of a holistic fitness/health/wellness lifestyle.

First, a definition of terms."Flex" means to contract (or bend); ibility means "ability"

Flexibility is the skill of contracting (the muscles). 

Therefore when you approach flexibility as another facet of strength training, and use your body correctly, you will make progress and can continue to make progress at any age. 

With some exceptions, most flexibility training will not be "passive", rather very active, since the muscles on the opposite side of the joint from the area you want to stretch/lengthen are contracting strongly. 

Just as strength is a skill, flexibility is a skill, and a strength.
