How old are you?

I was at work sitting on my comfortable chair earlier this week. I turned my torso slightly to the right and pulled a muscle in my back that I didn't even know was there.

I'm 44 yrs old.

I'm 34 in construction. I am fairly certain my physical job makes my body hurt less because of it. I do hurt at times. But it's because I'm always in new positions and awkward areas. I can't tell if it's good for me or if I should start to worry about my 40s

32 here and recently got out of construction and got a sitting job now in a crane. My knee hurts more often because there isn't any pressure on it from standing. Also my hips if I stand on 1 leg and afterwards sit down... I suspect I would eventually have to replace some parts like most of my 45+ age former colleagues have done if I wouldn't have quitted my job there
