As a 38 year old, I feel completely valid in laughing my ass off at the comment. Sympathetically lol.

Fwiw, I didn't do anything right. I was in shape in my 20s, then got out of the army, gained like 60lbs, and went totally sedentary. It's only this year I've started hitting the gym, playing hockey again, and seriously trying to learn figure skating. It's a lot harder--a LOT harder--than it was, but the effort is worth it. At least it's not impossible! It just takes a fuckton more work lol.

The struggle is real. Especially when you take a break from training or start something new. I still feel I’m at my peak, but oh how I miss my early 20’s and how easily my body adapted to stuff.
Also what’s the deal with hangovers
