Its not age as much as your weight.

I can always tell when I'm gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.

losing weight (safely) helps a lot! my legs built up strength to carry weight that it no longer has 😎

Not just weight. It’s lack of exercise. I’m 41 and my knees and back are fine even after a stint in the army. Gotta keep using those muscles and joints if you want to use them when you’re older.

Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.

My knees and back were significantly damaged by the Army and I got out when I was 21.

I recently got a balance board and it has really done a number on my ankles, legs, and core strength.

It is insane how degraded your ancillary muscles get from a sedentary lifestyle

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also a really good full body workout

Full body workout, yes, but also a really good stretch when you want to let the other guy have his fun.

One of previous jobs worked me so hard my leg hurts when a storm is coming. This happened in my early 20s

My knees are in this comment and they don't like it.
