    Its not age as much as your weight.

    I can always tell when I’m gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.

      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.

        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

    As a millenial almost 40… Its not that bad if you do something daily, some yoga everyday can be enough

      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

    Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”

        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 👕.
