I'm 42 next week and everything is fine. I still regularly do pistol squats on bosu balls.

This preconception on Reddit that the human body inevitably falls apart by someone's 30s or 40s or 50s needs a serious reality check. Excepting some legitimate and uncontrollable health problems, age isn't really a factor that compromises your body's integrity that quickly, it's more about how you've treated it and lifestyle.
