And for those wondering, yeah it sucks a first getting into a routine of physical training. Find your drive, keep it up, and eventually you may find you can't do without it. It gets so much easier after a while.

Good on you dude. I have some friends who sit around all day, gulping down 40oz sodas, wondering why they puff going up one set of stairs.

Put the liquid candy down, unglued yourself from the couch and get out into the world.

Life goes by too fast to be vegetating at home all day.

A few weeks ago, I was going down some stairs at a train station. I'm one of those people who always climbs stairs two at a time, just can't help myself. I saw this one fella going downstairs two at a time. I gaped at him like he was the master of my craft.

Stop making me feel bad.

So many people don’t workout or even stretch and wonder why they have body aches or pain.

Bend them or end them

Your body adapts to the stresses you put on it, folks.

I absolutely love this reference, and I use it all the time. Hell, I'm a walking simpsons encyclopedia.

I'm 40 next year... So far, I'm lucky. I've gone from a extremely physically demanding job (hike through back country bush, dig to 120 cm when you get there) to sitting at a desk. Where I used to not even think about the gym, I now find myself in one 5 days a week, just for preventive measures. I'm never gonna be a freakbeast muscle man, but I'll settle for not having a stroke at 60, like my dad did.

I felt that about many joints when I slacked off on working out for a few months in my 20s. I was still lifting enough to keep my muscles from too much atrophy, but my joints got... lazy? Dynamic motion and heavier weights suddenly felt (as suddenly as me taking exercise more serious again) like my joints were the limiting factor.

and then I overworked my arms and got something like tennis elbow and basically had to rehab myself back to being able to exercise, all without my muscles being the limiting factor!

Take care of your body, folks. You can go over 100% when you're young, but your body makes you pay when you're older!

Reminds me of the stories of the people who do crazy stuff on adrenalin rushes, like lift a car off their dying child, and then end up potentially hospitalized or otherwise extremely sore for months. I think I get it now...

You sound like you're either in your late 50's and/or haven't made your health a priority.

This isn't my experience and I'm almost 40.

Lately I've been feeling my bones rattle around in my body like dice. Just a skeleton in a bag.

Years of wakeboarding. I should've known, seeing all the knee braces on the older guys.

Idk but my knees are doing crack. I can hear them doing it every time I squat down to pick something up

Rad tech here: most people who have this phenomenon have arthritic knees from being fat. Internet disclaimer: I DIDN'T SAY ALL. But a huge number of people get to 30s or 40s and are overweight or have been for a significant part of their life and have worn out their knees at an early age. Then they come to get xrays with "idiopathic" knee pain.

Not bending, that's for sure!

Living on them

Honestly I thought it was appropriate. Aang, a freaking teenager, has an entire mini arc about the moral canundrum of having to kill someone while the fate of the entire world rests upon his shoulders. They also established how strongly it was against his religion to kill anything, and that he's a vegetarian.

Obviously it was a copout in that they can't show a character being directly killed in a spectacular enough fashion for a series finale on a children's show, but ultimately weakening the big bad evil guy and taking away all of his power, politically, physically and emotionally. That's a great place to end it and so very in character for Aang

you think so? a little cheesy but i thought it went well with the theme. n was cool to reveal that ability
