I hope y’all are 80 cause I’m 40’s and pretty damn fit to be fair. Owe it rock climbing, running, lots of walking, and gym but I hate the gym these days it’s so boring.
It is good to see this comment. Seeing the same joke of “I’m 30 and basically invalid” repackaged over and over on the internet and so many people finding it relatable is worrying.
I’m still active in my 40’s and I have a bunch of nagging sports injuries, some of which trace back 20+ years. Overuse injuries are common, too. Ask pretty much any serious runner or lifter or full time athlete, and they’ll all have things that they just live with.
…fourties are when the little injuries start; nothing debilitating, just minor tweaks from time to time which surprise that your resilience isn’t quite what it was twenty years ago…
…fifties are when they sneak up to get their revenge…
As someone in my 30s I’ve been told that by folks in their 40s and 50s about hitting the 30s and so far besides a reduction in the ability to not get a hangover I’m not really seeing it… I can’t speak from experience so far but part of me wonders if that’s not just folks projecting their own specific issues onto those younger than them.
I’m not casting shade on you specifically, I don’t know your specific circumstances, it just makes me wonder how much of this is age vs how long folks have gone without exercise and have begun to atrophy. Kids play and run a lot so one could assume they’re probably more fi than we are even if they’re weaker and slower than us due to their size.

Use it or lose it people.

It only takes a few years of inactivity and overeating for your body to become a total wreck. There’s nothing stopping 30-year-olds from doing it.
