I don't know what you youngsters are doing but my everything didn't start to hurt until I passed 50.
The answer is nothing. A sedentary lifestyle is what gets you.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to exercise more. I'm nowhere near active enough.
I'm 43 and rarely have aches (certainly nothing that would qualify as chronic), but I also regularly walk to and from the gym to weightlift. There's a saying "Movement is Medicine" and so far it seems to be proving true for me. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it.
I'm a bigger, tall guy. 6'4", and in my mid 20's 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I'm no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I'm paying for it.
Being constantly over worked since we entered the workforce as teens/early 20's
Maybe we don't even know what hurt is
wait til you reach your 110s, that's when things really start cramping
I plan to shed my limbs before then and transform into a lizard.
Personally, I'll become a mind in an anthropomorphic machine in the highly unlikely event that the technology gets there in the 25-40 years I have left lol.
Lizards are cool and all, but being cold-blooded only works for capitalists and have you ever tried playing Fallout New Vegas without hands?
Staying active helps mitigate this issue. Not fully, but it helps.
"Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?" - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.
I mean, it worked well as a child and teenager, why wouldn't it just continue to work? Kind of unfair if you ask me
I’m well past 30 and do not have this problem.
Either people have old injuries that are coming back to haunt them, bad genes, or they need to get their asses some exercise.
I assumed the joke was that as you get older things are just more stiff and you don't recover as fast. Yeah, it can be reduced with more exercise/activity but you're still getting older.
There was an event where this became apparent for me. I played softball for years in my 20s. Stopped for a bit and returned in my 30s. I was actually in better shape when I returned. One day mid-season, I was rounding first base, not even particularly fast, and I felt something tweek. By the end of the day I was stuck on the couch and could barely move. I had to take the next day off.
I don’t think that’s what the meme is saying, it really shouldn’t need interpretation. However, I agree with the rest of what you said. Youth gets strength, endurance, and faster recovery. If you’re older, you can still hold on to strength, but endurance and recovery take hits with time.
Yeah, over 30 is when your shit diet and lack of exercise catches up with you more and more. Exercise starts to not be optional if you don't want to feel like shit.
Yep.
Quit going to the gym thanks to covid and just started back up a couple months ago. I thought I felt fine before. After a month at the gym just doing super-basic, non-stressful cardio to just improve overall health and I realized that nope, I was not fine. Way better now even after just a month with 4 days a week at the gym and low-impact exercise.
Getting off your ass is highly valuable.
Yea I'm just about 40 and have no more aches than I did when I was 20. If you are fit and not overweight you likely won't have pains into your 50s.
To be fair though, the soreness from regular exercise is what you get in the tradeoff. I have both a regular cardio and strength program I run through every week (5 days of exercise) and a pretty active lifestyle (2 days of outdoor activities every week (hiking, mountainbiking, splitboarding,etc)) and I am generally sore at least somewhere in my body.
I’m not sure why this needed to be said. The normal soreness from exercise is expected and in a way desirable because you know it’s “working”. Those muscles are taking damage and being rebuilt in a simple way of saying it. This is part of the process that keeps you healthy and fit. That’s entirely different from hurting for unknown reasons when doing nothing.
Agreed. It's almost like this comedical graphic/text was made by someone who thinks 30 is like being 60 or something...not even close. Lol

I just noticed my ankle hurts. Why? No idea. How long has it been that way? Also no idea. I hope it goes away on its own.
Will turn 30 this month. I walked a few kilometers and my legs hurt. A couple of years ago I had a date where we had walked 30km during a night and I felt great back then.
When I was writing this message, my back demanded a stretch, which I've provided, not without pain in my shoulders.
I am really started to consider a suicide at 40. I just can't live inside this rack of a body.
Were you more active a couple of years ago? I'm 34 and shit starts falling apart when I stop exercising.
I’m 40ish and don’t have any regular pains. This sentiment is so fucking overdone
Just wait ti'll you get to your 40's! 🎉
This line of humor is fucking weak and self-defeating.
So many people seem to just be waiting to die.
Turning 50 this month, and I feel pretty good. I have a few niggles here and there, but I stay active and that helps a lot.
Man as a person who's had small chronic pains since my teens these posts always make me jealous
Yeah my recovery isn't as fast anymore, lockup easier too.
Heat up tires and work on your braking then.
I'm 22 and everything already hurts all the time, I usually need help with basic house chores at this point cause i need so much time to rest
45 today. Doesn't get better. Quitting sugars and refined foods helps my joints from hurting tho.
Meme template 😘👌
What if I reverse the graveyard song?
