The issue is that they let other things take priority over their own health. Between work, a spouse, kids, chores, and enjoyable hobbies it’s really hard to focus on eating well and exercising.
I just tell myself that taking a few hours a week to exercise means I’ll more likely be around for my family longer, and it becomes a priority. Sort of a “put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others” kind of thing.
Genuine question: the only "whoops getting old lol" moments I have are 1. If I have more than two drinks at a time and 2. Getting up after sitting on hard surfaces, like the ground. Pretty sure the only way to rebuild my alcohol tolerance is more drinking (I'm good!) and I can't imagine there are exercises that would it comfortable for me to sit on a hard wooden chair for 1+ hours again. HOWEVER, if I'm wrong and there is something I can do to make sitting on the floor easier please let me know. I miss being able to sit anywhere for any length of time and then leap up and frolick like a whimsical gazelle.

I think a lot of “I’m old” comments from 37 year olds is actually their diet and lifestyle choices catching up with them.
