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.
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.
Went to the gym / dojo for the first time in months yesterday
And now i have a bruise on my leg from holding onto lockdown for dear life
Bridge 4
One of previous jobs worked me so hard my leg hurts when a storm is coming. This happened in my early 20s
And you are mid twenties now?
Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.
