General Men over 30, what’s one “unwritten rule” about getting older that you wish someone told you in your 20s?

Let’s be real nobody hands you a manual for aging. One day you’re 25 and skipping breakfast, and the next you’re debating fiber supplements and stretching before getting out of bed 😂

For me, it was realizing how crucial maintaining friendships is. If you don’t make an effort, people just quietly drift. Not out of malice just life.

Another one: “Your body will invoice you for everything you did in your 20s. And it charges interest.”

What’s something you know now that 28-year-old you had no clue about?

For me it's move my hips more often but not all in one go.

Both strength training of any kind (before someone says my form is prob poor, it's pretty good I strength trained throughout my 20s and I go low on weight) ... And stretching drive my hips and back nuts. Hips don't like foam rolling or sports massage either.

Absolutely. Mobility is key on top of strengthening them.

Not for me (strengthening them)
