I turned 35 this month and I feel great because I take care of myself. And 35, even 45 is still very young. I am still skinny, no gut, I can run miles without feeling a thing. I eat well and never had any health issues. If you've had an illness or injury that wasn't under your control, I'm sorry to hear that and this topic isn't about criticizing you based on something like that.

But if you're 35 or more, talking about feeling old or limited, I just don't know what to say to you. Exercise, eat well and take care of yourself.

The only issue I have with my body honestly is my right knee. It's annoying because I DO like to use a treadmill, do jumping jacks and other at-home exercises but both of those activities impact my knee. I have for years, probably since I was 20, have had a massive issue with my knee where it locks up if I sit in certain ways and more. If I am actually out and about doing standard walking or activity, it's fine. It just hates me exercising or sitting down in strange positions like cross-legged.

I had an scan on them and there was like, pinched muscle there or something causing problems, but I don't want to get into seeking surgeries that will limit me until after the election.

My right hip hurts if I don't make it a habit to sit correctly or sit with bad posture long enough.

This is years of sitting incorrectly biting me in the literal ass I think. lol

My husband does all those things (hes military) and still has lots of aches and pains and some medical issues. After a while the body starts to break down no matter how well you take care of it. (Hes quite a bit older than 35 but has had pain for many years already.)

I feel that if youd exercised harder in your youth, you might not feel that way TC. Aside from inevitable injuries, if you exercising at a high level youre more aware of where your peak performance is, and that definitely drops down from about mid twenties onwards. At 35, Im still very active, but my body simply isnt capable of what it could do at 22.

I felt great up until I was ~47. Then my back started stiffening up if I was sitting on the floor/ground too long. Went to a festival where we sat on a lawn to watch a band play, and after an hour, I physically couldn't stand back up without help.

That's good advice, but talk to us at 36 ...or 37. "Wear and tear" issues like plantar fasciitis, minor back pain, pre-diabetes, hearing loss, stomach acid, new allergies, etc., will eventually get even the healthiest of us. Its when you ignore those things that you start getting into real problems...

This was a huge problem for me. I had 100 acres. I had one paddock around 15 acres. The furthest you could get. Halfway there a deep ditch cut a pasture in half. Pain got so bad doing that trip, I'd have to rest 5 min before finishing

Working a physically active job can mess with you. I got foot and back pain. I'm 34 (35 in a couple of months). The weight doesn't help, but there are skinnier and younger people than me that have aches and pains too.

I mean sometimes your body just says fuck you

I workout 6 times a week, own a labor intensive business, eat well and 90% of my hobbies involve physical activity

One day for no reason my shoulder just decided to give me joint pain and after months of it, it finally has started to feel normal again. Doing heavy sets at the gym leads to more soreness than before, and sometimes its hard to stay awake at night

I also dont believe in the mentality that youre too old to do most things, but the fact is the body just wears out over time. It sucks but it is what it is

35 I feel better then I did at 25. I work physical labor at Walmart. My job requires a lot of heavy lifting and stuff. I dont wake up with aches. I have bad foot pain sometimes. Though that's 100% from my crappy shoes.

We're humans. I'm glad I seem to have a lot of things in my favor, biologically, and I can't judge or make pointed remarks towards people who have problems I don't.

It cam be genetics, or life events. Sometimes the early cripple is the one who truly worked their ass off harder than someone who took care of their body at the gym.

1. You are assuming it is all under your control

2. You are 35. Just wait.

I felt fine at 35, but now am 47 and things just don't work as well, and moving around sometimes involves aches. And for the record, I just ran a half marathon in under 2 hours on Saturday. So yes, I am in shape.

Yeah, not sure my scoliosis, back injury, or nerve damage agree. I'm sure I could feel better if I was healthier, but it certainly wouldn't stop the chronic stuff.

I'm 34 and I do stay active, but I really need to start doing yoga and stretching or something. My flexibility is going down.

I don't feel old or limited, but my recovery time after doing a run or playing soccer is definitely longer than when I was younger.

This article generated some buzz a few months back. Studies show we have two aging bursts, one in our mid-40s and one in our 60s.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/20/health/dramatic-human-aging-scli-intl-wellness/index.html

The X factor in feeling physically bad in your 40s isn't just diet or fitness; it's inevitable life circumstances. Many people experience a lot of loss in those years, from parents/elders, pets, and even some of our peers and friends. The gravity of those losses seems to age us as much as our biology.

You are lucky

This. I tore both ACL as a kid playing sports, among other injuries. You cant just exercise multiple knee and ankle surgeries away.

I am glad for TC, and it is always fine to remind people that it is good to take care of ourselves. But this is a very simplistic view of the wear and injuries you can get as you age.

It is a very individualized thing that often has nothing to do with how a person takes care of themselves or not. Maybe the best thing is recognizing that if you feel good you are blessed and your hard work is part of it, but luck and circumstance also plays a big part.

Just turned 31. I definitely feel crappy sometimes but I can basically point to all the reasons for that and it's behavior based for the most part. I would really like to exercise a lot more in the next five to ten years with my wife to help us later in life.
