    Yeah it’s worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I’m 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I’m pretty sure that’s a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.

      The meme’s about people having their back in shit shape or that they’re basically invalids when they turn 30 are wild. I wonder if the ones memeing about it are 15 and 30 is basically a grandpa or if they’re 30 but haven’t had a day of exercise in their life.

        Maybe we should open more green third spaces and stop policing state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces.

          I don’t think there’s lack of green third spaces in Finland but the same issue persists.I don’t know what you mean by “state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces”

          I just think it will help people relax and focus on their bodies to be somewhere physically healthy they can focus on how being in a body feels, rather than if they’re performing body to script enough to not get hsssled while minding their own biz.

        People really should consider lifting heavy stuff more often so their backs actually support them without a chair back.

        I’m 54 and can run circles around most people, and I have light emphysema. These posts weird me out as well. Got a few theories about these people.

        1. They’re fat and the extra weight has stressed their joints and back. If they’re American the odds are for it.

        2. Never really exercised. Took my kids (9 & 11) on a hike to the creek. “How much further daddy?!” “Whole trip’s only 1.2 miles, we’re about halfway.” <howls of outrage> We started elementary gym class, every single day, with a mile jog.

        3. Around 30+ is when you first start noticing that you’re aging and just might not be 10-foot tall and bulletproof much longer. Maybe they’re exaggerating?

          1. is probably a lot of it. You’re always the oldest you’ve ever been, and (as far as I know) everyone only ever experiences aging the first time. Everyone’s constantly pushing into unknown age territory and no one has the benefit of comparing how they feel now to how they’ll feel in the future, it’s just now vs when we were younger and likely fitter.

      41 and fat but I was just at a music festival and can run circles around and had more endurance than most people in their 20’s. People are soft as fuck.
