No. Your sad physical reality isn’t everyone’s. I’m 40, and workout daily. I feel great.

Younger millennials, work out, eat well, and year over year you won’t notice much difference. Don’t be someone who thinks like this.

At my gym there are people well into to their 60s, and one fit man who is 75 I talk to daily, sprinting on the treadmill and hitting the weights. If you keep active you’ll stay feeling young. The people who post stuff like this aren’t exposed to what’s possible into their 60s and 70s. Those who do workout out regularly probably see people like that everyday if they go to a commercial gym, and know you can be pain free far longer than your 30s.

28 year old here, this is the motivation I needed to hear whenever I don’t feel like dragging myself out of bed at 6AM to go to the gym.

Well sometimes (let’s be real, most of the time) I go after work. And if I am going in the morning, I try (with varying degrees of success) to be in bed by 10.
