Wtf is wrong with all your bodies if they're that shit during your 30's lol
I'm 40 and i think i'm stronger and fitter than when i was 30. The downside is when i get hurt. I used to fall off my skateboard countless times and just got up and kept going. Two weeks ago i fell down some stairs on my ass/back and it still hurts.
I had a thread on here where multiple people were telling me I should expect to be in a little pain all the time in my 30's. I asked older people IRL about that, and the answer was lol no.
High probability it was dudes who barely get up from their chair, and seized up like corpses as a result. TBF it might have been a programming community.
People are seditaty now more than ever. Like 40+% of the US is obese. Fat and joints and health do not go together.
Even Europe is catching up.
Edit: new study is showing 70% for the non-bmi definition.

People don't move, eat more food than they need...so yea that's how.
Years of manual labour jobs for me, personally.
It's not moving at all or moving way too much (and in the wrong ways) that causes the problems, per physio people I've heard from.
Turns out I have extra bendy joints and it was only a matter of time before I injured myself.
Yeah, I dislocated my knee in high school, couldn't afford to go to a doctor, haven't been able to walk right since.
Thankfully I was injured at work and everything was paid for, because even in Canada, I'm not getting that physiotherapy for free.
Never mind! Hypermobility is a whole other thing. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that.
Right? It's like they either been living in cramped farm factories staring at a screen or been working in a soviet gulag since age 8 from what you read online
I'm going to guess mostly the former, with a sprinkling of the latter, since the battery cage people are definitely online a lot.
Children. Once there’s children you have 0 hours to look after yourself. It requires a Herculean effort for both your partner and you to carve out 30 minutes per person per two days
So exercise with your kids. I got in great shape doing just that. And my kid is in such good shape he has broken longstanding fitness records at his school.
