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

I’m 40 and pretty much everything about my body feels better than 10 years ago.

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

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.

My knees and back were significantly damaged by the Army and I got out when I was 21.

One of previous jobs worked me so hard my leg hurts when a storm is coming. This happened in my early 20s

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.

Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.

That’s probably at least a distance of five to six feet. And not even in front of him.

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.
