This is terrible. I wouldn’t want to go back 20 years at all. Every year I’m grateful that it has been better than the last. Life is on the up and up. I’m not wishing to go back, I’m looking forward to next year.
this is one of the most depressing things i’ve ever read
Well let me help you there, it’s not true. I’m happy where I am, and do not wish to go back to my life from 20 years ago. Continue making progress and improving, and you will be content with where you are. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.
I mean… you’re not wrong… But still made me laugh out loud
Pshh you’ve never seen my pair of baby shoes
One can appreciate the sentiment of the quote to value every minute while you have it, but under a more optimistic lens, the quote is not always true. I was 10x unhealthier 20 years ago than today, and I would give anything to never be there again. We all walk a different path.
I was physically much more healthy but my life-stress levels were much higher. So glad I’m past that. Now if we can all just do our bit to stop the world sliding into fascism, and of course climate destruction, maybe we’ll be able to look back in 20 years.
I hope I’m going to be you in the future. I’m in my late 20s and straight up not having a good time, health-wise.
If I had read this a year ago it would’ve been completely false
Feelz bad for Rich Webster whose life is on a downward spiral.
I’ll have the time of my life now so i can rub it in the face of future me!
Not to mention having this exact amount of money in your bank account.
Nah, if you peak too early you gotta live with the downfall. I’m planning on being the most healthy in my 50s during the second global climate wars.
Not physically, no. The best time to start getting into shape was yesterday. The second best time is today.
I exercise for the sole purpose of making getting old suck less.
As an old person, a lot of my aches and pains now come from fitness-activity injuries in my youth. So may I suggest MODERATION. Watch the wear and tear on your tendons and cartilage!
For sure. People need to know there’s a difference between getting into shape, and getting ripped.
When I started my most recent exercise stint, I took my workout program and started with 4 sets of 25 reps at 2.5lb. Once I could do the last set without any sort of struggle, I upped it by 2.5lb.
This has many benefits, such as strengthening supporting muscles, letting your tendons and ligaments slowly get used to moving the weight, and cements in proper form so you don’t end up doing cheater reps at higher weight.
It’s more difficult than many might expect. For instance, my 10rm on bicep curls is 45lb, but my 25rm is 15lb.
Some of us can only dream of that, because we have unrelated health issues that prevent us from exercising, and a shitton of other stuff. All we can do is hope that this isn’t the healthiest well ever be, because that thought is fucking depressing.
On a single daily water rat and corpse starch wafers? No gains
Weird way of saying every day of existence will get worse.
Lol, I’ve had a really bad cold (or something) for a week so, no. I feel like I’m fucking dying.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
I’m assuming they didn’t expect the reader to be at work lol
I mean 20 years from now I would put it as 50 years earlier if I had my way.
I plan on and am on track to be much healthier, but agreed on the rest.
Love this
Wish I wasn’t mentally ill! Makes me feel worse to think about how I feel like shit.
