Jeez kinda nice to see I'm not alone with all the aches and pains that come with aging. I'm 41 and for me soon as I hit 40 it was like my internal clock told my body its over. Though I've had my share of sports injuries (torn ACL surgically repaired, torn labrum, broken wrist, busted finger, and lots of general knocks and hits).
I've worked desk jobs for the last 20 years, but because of that have tried to make sure I exercise in some way and now that I'm working from home 100% I have a sit/stand desk that really is a game changer. And then I make sure to workout on my lunch break.
The big thing for me thats different is the actual workout. I used to lift heavy weights and go to fail, no stretching all lifting.
Now its essentially all about stretching and any weights its more about the reps than the actual weight.
I also think drinking lots of water, eating better, getting a good sleep, and all that has a bigger impact on me now than when I was a young invincible punk.
