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.

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.
