    I feel better in my mid-30s than my mid-20s. Less aches and pains, and I feel like I recover from injuries quicker. I eat better and go to the gym regularly. I also was finally able to find a doctor to help me get some chronic health issues under control (ironically I had to get old enough that they stopped telling me I was too young to have the issues I was having and started being willing to treat them) and I’m no longer in an unhealthy relationship. Less stress + better health + better habits = feeling younger.

      I want to complain, but for most people this will be true. The most boring stock standard fitness and lifestyle advice will, and it pains me to admit this, absolutely improve your quality of life in every way.

      It’s not like you’re guaranteed to feel amazing, but the bads won’t feel as bad, and you’ll just feel a little bit better than if you did nothing.

      Fml but the normies had this one right 🤷

        I want to complain too. I slacked off the last 2-3 weeks and went to the gym less often. I’ve still been far more active in these past 2-3 weeks than I was even a year ago and still got several hours of exercise each week, but I’ve not been as active as I’ve been the past few months. I can’t believe how shitty I’ve felt the last few days. Time to stop being lazy and get my ass back in gear.

          It’s always a struggle but it’s always worth it. Shame it’s so hard to see how worth it it is from this side of things
