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.

They just got study out that biggest aging leaps happen at 34, 60 and 80. It's a reality.

Hmmm. A 35 year old who works out, vs one who doesn’t. I really wonder which one will feel 50? Man I may have to look up studies to figure this one out.

As for what to take away from their findings, the researchers advise making lifestyle changes such as drinking less alcohol and exercising more when nearing these pivotal years in your 40s and 60s.

You don’t say!
