    If your knees or back are going out in your 30s you’re likely either fat or inactive or both. Lose weight now, get active now, joint damage is cumulative. (Yes, hard labor will jack you up, but not that young. And some people are just genetically unlucky. I gather being tall is bad as well?)

    Read a great quote years ago, “How active you are in your middle age determines how active you will be able to be in your old age.”

      That quote is why I exercise now.

      Something is better than nothing, and every little bit beyond nothing that you do will make you feel better.

      Or, here me out, you work a labor intensive job that is aging parts of you and injuring other parts of you earlier than someone who doesn’t.

      For me, most people in my area have to work labor jobs to get by. That alone will fuck you up by 30.

    30 years or 75k miles, which ever comes first. Good thing I bought the extended warranty!

    Jesus, 30 is insanely early for that. That is not normal.
