Currently a bit over 40. Give exercise fitness and physical activities as much attention as absolutely possible from as early as possible. Same with good eating. Your 20s will catch up to you.

Currently 37, and am soon reaching my 31 yo crossfit max. No 'roids. :-) Only difference is: I build slowly, I wanna keep fit until 70+. And yes, for the 20 year olds: Exercise every day!

  6 seems a bit young to have a child. But seriously, I turned 40 earlier this year and a) am in the best shape of my life, and b) need to be because my body can’t deal with dozens of hours of desk work every week without it. I can’t speak for CrossFit, but doing group workout activities like yoga is a great way to meet folks from different walks of life, and I was very pleasantly surprised when I first started yoga by how welcoming it was. I had some anxiety around being terrible at it in front of a bunch of experienced strangers, but I found my fears were quickly allayed.

Am 24 and literally everything hurts. I try to work out but i feel it's just destroying myself. Also there is not even time since work and studying takes up so much. It's a privilege that people can do all that and work out.

  I was like that for many years. A workout would take me two weeks to recover. As is common for mystery symptoms. Turned out to be an autoimmune condition.

  A lot of people, when they hear exercise and physical fitness, imagine something like getting up at 5am and hitting the gym for an hour. For folks in your situation, I typically advise looking at the overall structure of your life and figuring out what you can change so that you are inherently more active. Try a lunch time walk. Or, one of my favorites, is an after dinner walk to settle the stomach and get a fresh look at the neighborhood. Bike to work. Study less. You got options, you just need to think about what balance you personally want to strike

  If it's important you'll find the time. I used to exercise during WFH meetings. If I don't need to talk then I can do squats or burpees or something while listening.
