I don't know what you youngsters are doing but my everything didn't start to hurt until I passed 50.

I joked with my mom about how everything started hurting after 25, and she was baffled because for her the aches also only started after 50.

I am pushing 40 and no aches. Don't know what is meant by the meme.

I'm guessing you exercise regularly? I suspect the young pains thing is mostly from living a sedentary lifestyle.

[–] DinosaurSr@programming.dev 13 points 8 months ago

I lived a really sedentary lifestyle for about 10 years and everything started hurting. The good news for people in their 30s is that it's probably not too late to turn it around. It's crazy what a little exercise can do

It's either that or the opposite end of the spectrum: being used and abused by physical labor jobs until you can't work anymore.

I exercised a lot in my 20s but with my office job and working from home post pandemic I became extremely sedentary. Maybe it's a good call to exercise again. I also have to get over a sports injury with physio so I really should go back to the gym.

The answer is nothing. A sedentary lifestyle is what gets you.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to exercise more. I'm nowhere near active enough.

I'm 43 and rarely have aches (certainly nothing that would qualify as chronic), but I also regularly walk to and from the gym to weightlift. There's a saying "Movement is Medicine" and so far it seems to be proving true for me. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it.

I'm a bigger, tall guy. 6'4", and in my mid 20's 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I'm no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I'm paying for it.

Being constantly over worked since we entered the workforce as teens/early 20's

Maybe we don't even know what hurt is
