I don't understand this. I'm 32, I've been working labour intensive construction jobs since I was 18, and before that I played football, rugby and hockey pretty much year round. I've been pretty tough on my body pretty much my whole life.
99% of days I wake up feeling completely fine. Some times I'll have a sore back or neck or something, generally from lifting heavy shit or just overworking. Then a few days of recovery, I feel fine. All these memes I see of 30 year olds acting like they are 75 are just so stupid.
That's because you're active. Being a couch potato is one of the most damaging things you can do to your body. An object at rest stays at rest.... forever.
I mean, I'm a couch potato the same age as them and I'm completely pain free.
