I thought like that until age 30, but at that point I started getting injuries and back pain. Stumbling a bit was enough to pull a tendon in my foot. Pulling my hand away too quickly from splashing cooking oil and I'd pull a tendon in my shoulder or hurt my neck. Sitting at my desk for too long and my back would start to hurt. My metabolism is similar to yours. I never gain weight. Not everyone is like that, but there are some age related changes we all have in common. We lose muscle mass, but muscles are the only thing that prevents wear and tear in our joints and spine. I hate exercising, but I don't want to live in pain and look geriatric at age 50.

The things that give me injuries are usually motorcycle accidents :) I do pull the odd muscle every now and again (once or twice a year?), but it's usually because I'm doing something extremely strenuous - last was pulling my VFR onto its centrestand. And indeed, simply physically moving a 250kg machine around every few days is a form of exercise. As are all the other things I do that prompt effort or get my heart rate up. But they are only incidental parts of living. (I'm 34, FWIW.)
