Think that's bad? Wait 10 more.
I'm 52 next month. It's not all bad. The knees are a little tired, as is one shoulder. Other than that, WFO till the end.
I'm in my late 30s, put in a 12 hour day yesterday, post hole diggers, shovels, post driver, and 20 bags of Quikrete.
Basically everything in that song applies to me today.

yeah.. all the 50 year old's now tell me the same thing.. hahahah
I am less than a month from 49. Aside from a shoulder I tore up pretty badly at 18, I only have a case of my hair running away. Other than that, I feel more or less the same.
If you live past 30, you will have outlived almost every one of your ancestors. The normal human lifespan for most of our existence as a species has been about 30 years.
An interesting example of how things have changed, is DaVinci's painting of the Mona Lisa. She was a middle-aged woman with two children, aged 19.
I turned 64 on Sunday, so you could say that I'm starting on my third lifetime.
I'm wondering how much of the "falling apart by 30" syndrome is because many people stop being as active as they once were when they get a regular job, and it really starts catching up to them when they are 30.
It's what happened to me, until I got off my ass and started exercising again.

I don't know about that. The more active people I know are the ones having joints rebuilt. The fat ones only have high blood pressure.

I'm fat and active. It hurts so much.

I recall reading that the "losing muscle mass after 40" is exactly this. Also, kids.
