I hesitate to say this put loud, but mid-50s and nothing hurts yet, except the migraines I’ve gotten sine teenage years.
Knees last if you take care of them. Back lasts if you take care of it and are lucky, and don’t get fat, and are lucky, and don’t work a physical job, and are lucky.
Stretch. Exercise. Don’t overeat.
The more active you are, the greater the likelihood that you’ll sustain serious injuries at some point. Those injuries go on to become chronic pain as you get older. I was very athletic and very active when I was younger, and I feel it now. I’m still active, and staying active helps those old injuries to hurt less, but they still always hurt.
You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don’t believe you!
Heh, coincidentally, many of my injuries are from Kung Fu. Many more are from riding dirt bikes, and the rest are from recklessness or just plain accidents. Surprisingly I have no lasting injuries from soccer, baseball, football, track, cross-country, rock climbing, or outdoorsmanship. I guess organized sports are a little safer than more extreme sports.
Don’t overeat should be first imo
I’m 23 and I’m already feeling it. Gotta stop sitting at a desk all day
Desk jobs are more prone to injury than manual labor jobs. Be active outside of work, especially stretching and calisthenics.
I’m in my early 20s and I got arthritis (yaaay) but for any soreness CBD oils are a god send
Its not age as much as your weight.
I can always tell when I’m gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.
losing weight (safely) helps a lot! my legs built up strength to carry weight that it no longer has 😎
Not just weight. It’s lack of exercise. I’m 41 and my knees and back are fine even after a stint in the army. Gotta keep using those muscles and joints if you want to use them when you’re older.
My knees and back were significantly damaged by the Army and I got out when I was 21.
Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.
I recently got a balance board and it has really done a number on my ankles, legs, and core strength.
It is insane how degraded your ancillary muscles get from a sedentary lifestyle
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also a really good full body workout
Full body workout, yes, but also a really good stretch when you want to let the other guy have his fun.
One of previous jobs worked me so hard my leg hurts when a storm is coming. This happened in my early 20s
And you are mid twenties now?
My knees are in this comment and they don’t like it.
As a millenial almost 40… Its not that bad if you do something daily, some yoga everyday can be enough
I’m 40 and pretty much everything about my body feels better than 10 years ago.
I’m at the stage where if I sit around too much it starts to hurt, but if I make healthy choices and exercise everything is still fine. It’s like my body requires healthy choices. Wasn’t like that before.
Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”
I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux
Like your body wasnt maintained ok all the time but now he says: Look at me, i am the demander of maintanence now
Zoomer here, how do I claim my knees’ warranty? They’ve started hurting AT LEAST a decade too soon.
I asked my oem if I could get replacement parts. Needless to say my mom said my model wasn’t getting built anymore and to not treat things like I stole it.
Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”
Those who know the
We also
If he had mistimed that, we would have seen a VERY different ending here, delivered as it would have been to/from the man in the muscle t-shirt 👕.
That’s probably at least a distance of five to six feet. And not even in front of him.
Okay it looked more like 3, but still you can imagine the joke as if it were funny 🤣.
