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.

I actually started going to the gym a few weeks ago not having done proper physical exercise in the last 13 years. A large portion of the random pains and cartilage grinding are just straight up gone already.

Try spending 30 years being obese without ever working out. That'll get your body hurting real quick.

30's is still quite young. OP needs to get himself checked out and get himself in shape.

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.
