Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.
Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.
Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I’ve lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn’t as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.
Doctors said I’m fine btw. I’m just so exhausted and it’s depressing seeing this shit.
Exercise for it’s own sake sucks. Find something physically challenging and fun. Kayaking is a great example, and not the crazy fast rapids type. Hiking is great exercise as well. Dedicate a pack to it and keep modifying it untill you’re carry what you want and need. LOL, mine’s about 25lbs. with beer and a little shotgun. You get the idea, even if those things aren’t your jam.
You might be surprised what you can find on maps! Zoom out and see what’s out there. Found a park by the Navy base that few locals know exists. Been exploring this area for years and there are still places close by I’ve never been.
This is me. I’m a pragmatic guy, don’t really have serious body image issues (don’t get me wrong I have notes, but I’ve never felt the need to look “muscly”). For those reasons I’ve never been great at working out just for the sake of being active. The only things that seem to motivate me are exercising via fun sports like bouldering, longboarding, or biking, or doing some calisthenics at home specifically to improve my stamina when I’m out bouldering, longboarding, or biking. So find physical hobbies!
