    Its not age as much as your weight.

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

      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.

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

        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 are in this comment and they don’t like it.

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