Middle aged life

You that but Gen Z are the ones who are drinking, smoking less and looking after their health more because of social media. So many of them are vegetarian or vegans.

Not drinking but smashing in prescription drugs for a "healthier" way to enjoy themselves and taking up vaping even though they'd never have considered smoking, also nothing inherently healthy about being veggie or vegan.

I was 38 the other month and I'm in the best condition health wise I've ever been, might even have abs by 40 :eek:

Mentally I have been struggling since my little one was born 3 years ago but I've finally pulled my head out my backside and started to work on that with some counselling as well. I don't imagine I'll make it much past mid 70s so I'm firmly in my mid life and it feels pretty good.

Glad to hear that mate.

I'm not too far from you age wise and I don't think I'm doing that bad myself health wise either. I'll be 36 next month and I really started to turn my life around back in March 2022 physically and mentally. I've been consistent with gym/exercise ever since and I feel pretty damn good.

Thanks mate, the gym was always my go to for dealing with life and I'd stubbornly stuck with it but I've finally admitted it doesn't solve everything :D

Of course.

SSRI's usage, therapy, vaping. Are all recorded numbers with Gen Z but that's a different conversation all together.

As for the veggie or vegan thing. Plenty of people here would fight you on that case :D but I'm not one of them. I like my meats :)

Vegetarian or vegan is a personal morality crusade not a dietary one otherwise the omnivores would have died out centuries ago. A little bit of what you fancy does you good.
 
Trying to make my exercise more habitual, , using the dip bars night and evening and also the kettlebell, but watching various YouTube vids for the most effective ones , raw onion and beetroot now a daily thing over 5 days , dodgy leg now signed off so will get back in the ocean soon.
Plan is to look better than 20 years ago , still the same waist size so that's a start
Also thinking of getting 2 x25kg bells to do the farmers carry on a regular basis
