I'm 50. Hit me hard at 40, and I learned real quick that if you don't do anything you'll feel like crap, and hurt. You have to do whatever you can do exercise wise. Just do something. I have artificial hips and bad arthritis in my wrists, hands, shoulders, but as long as I do something I dont hurt as bad. Planks, crunches, ride a bike, walk, anything I can do that my body will let me do. It's vital, and it doesn't really take that much to make you feel better, just do something every day. Not trying to win the cross fit games here, just trying to move and put whatever resistance on my muscles I can get away with.

I'm not sure when it started but I'm there. Seems like several years agowhen I quit doing speed and taking pain pills, things went down hill

Ironic that this topic was posted. I am 58 and just recently started telling my wife I feel old. I have some sort of aches and pains every day but I stay active playing golf, disc golf, fishing and hunting. I try to never waste a day sitting inside but those days happen. I realize that I can help my body by eating better and reducing the alcohol but honestly, it's hard to be retired, living at the beach and not drink.

I’m 60 as well and started feeling it around 55

Around 57

57, when i was diagnosed with a hyper-rare neuropathy called chronic inflammatory demylenating (spelling?) polyneuropathy ...

My body started feeling old at 42 after my treestand fall. That aged my body 20 years.

51. Because I am in love with a 36 year old

You got an alias on here and headed west anytime soon? 😁

Yeah them young ones do motivate

Early 60’s. Turning 70 this year.

I'll be 59 next month. About 10 years ago all the fun I had when I was younger came back to remind me I didn't really heal. Everything hurts most mornings.

I am 45 and still strong and tough but it is gonna got me as soon as I slow down

The short answer is: Probably when I hit 40. I was competing in full contact martial arts in the senior division and in one year, broke several ribs, two fingers, two toes and suffered a partially detached retina. So I gave all that up. I was pretty frustrated at myself that year.

The long answer is: I don't know, I'm still weightlifting at 62 years old, and I am actually poised (Barring any significant injuries...) to set personal records in the Squat, Bench and Deadlift. Yes my joints can and do sometimes hurt, but I take turmeric for that and as long as I'm consistent with that I feel pretty good for a grandfather that lifts more and heavier than just about any young people that I know of.

Here's the thing... Age is only a number. Stay active, stay fit, and keep moving. I personally believe that strength training is extremely important as we age. I'm currently training to be the baddest ass 90 year old you have ever seen.

50 is when I started getting a lot of aches and pains and had more difficulty getting around. I still kick ass and am very active but I pay for it that night and maybe the next day. Had a knee replacement too but I still do anything I want. Just hurts more. I refuse to admit I can't do certain things anymore and just figure out different ways to do it. Can still load a buck into the truck by myself but just have to use a pulley system, used to be able to do it easily by myself.

60 is definitely hitting different, but I think I realized I wasn’t bulletproof in my 50s.

59 an reallys bother me look in mirror an see age in my eyes. I feel way better than I look. Reading glasses at 45 . Other than that I’m good. Never been sick a day in my life that I can remember, except couple kidneys stone. Worked very hard my whole life in logging business. If not working I’m look for something to do. I never sit unless I’m sleeping . Wish I knew how to just sit a relax. I raced dirtbikes offroad for years . Offroad races 2 hrs long alway kept me in shape . I can still do it just in senior class . Never had kids kept stress down I guess. I do know I’m really blessed with my health at my age . I can do anything I could in my 30s except for endurance. God has been really good to me an im thankful every single day .

The last year or two I’ve really noticed. 55 now. When I do things like hunting/hiking I still try to go like I did when 20. Just this year I’ve noticed I can’t quite make it like I did when 20

Dam I’m 47 and wish I would not have opened this post!!!!!
