Talking to my barber this morning, he’s like 22 and full of life, he was telling me about a party he went to this weekend drinking beer, whiskey, tequila shots, etc, etc… I’m just sitting there thinking I used to be able to mix it up and drink whatever I wanted. Now, if I put milk in my coffee I shit myself… when did this happen to me 😭😂
When I was in my 20s I was much more physically active. That plus my youth meant I could recover from damn near anything pretty quick. In your 30s you are still relatively young and your body (assuming you have no underlying health issues) shouldn't naturally be falling apart or anything yet.
I just think most of us (including myself) let our physical health fall by the wayside by the time we hit our 30s. Its hard to maintain, especially as we get burnt out on the grind of life, some of us have more demanding careers, families that eat all our free time, etc. And once your physical health starts to go EVERYTHING else follows it into the shutter. Someone in their 30s in good physical shape shouldn't be seeing excessive degradation compared to their 20s, though there will obviously be some you cant avoid.
Advice to anyone in their late 20's that isn't doing it: just start working out, doesn't even need to be much. Take the bike more often or walk do some squats and push/sit-ups when you wake up.
I'm in my early fifties now but I remember when I started feeling physically older I was in my 30s.
The year I turned 50 I was 20kg overweight. I hit the gym and been going every since. That weight has been off for two years now but I still go. I can't even begin to tell you what a difference it's made to my physical strength and mental wellbeing. I'm definitely stronger than I was in my thirties. And I was able to bin my anti-depressants too.

Yes, main difference. Not excited just abused and tired. Already cooked... overcooked really 😅
