I'm only 23, but even compared to when I was in high school, things are crazy different. I can still do everything I want to do physically, but my body really pays for it the next day. Parts of my body hurt for seemingly no reason sometimes. Getting old scares me a lot, but this definitely eased my concerns a little bit to hear someone talk about it.
I'm 54 Shannon...it's not going to get any better ;-) I'm glad you're making peace with entropy -- life is counterintuitive (Don't believe ANYTHING you read on Facebook)
You are awesome Shannon! Age is just a number but I totally agree with everything you said! I felt the exactly same way when I turned 30 and especially 35! I’m 36 and my body has just gone to sh*t! But I’m disabled from birth and been in a wheelchair for a couple of years now, first not by choice but then crap just snowballed and well yeah. But no I feel ya man and you aren’t too old for TH-cam, you know you’re hockey stuff inside and out, keep it up.
Not necessarily The Schlocky Guy - because though it has a nice ring to it the word has some probably unwanted meanings - but the Other than Hockey Guy (not saying that's a good name but I can't think of a better one) and videos like these are a big reason I'm here. I avoid show and movie reviews because I haven't yet seen most but possibly might someday and don't want them spoiled, but alternative stuff like this that's not even necessarily "entertainment" I always look forward to.
One correlation I've read about is that the people you see who are fit or otherwise in shape later in life are doing it for a specific reason. This is usually related to an underlying health or mental problem. So it's a little dangerous to say that fit people die earlier when the underlying reason these people are fit or restricting their diet may be the true cause of death. Someone who feels fine mentally and physically will be less inclined to change their lifestyle and diet.
Well, if you read the links in the description, it says "macho will make you sick" meaning that lifting weights and that kind of thing can take away your body's ability to fight infections.
I did read the first link as it was a really interesting read. I just didn't quite ascertain what you did from the article. None-the less, just offering a different pov. I
In 21, I prefer talking to people who are 30-35 and up cause people are more and more full of shit the younger they are. Cant stand the majority of kids my age who get everything and dont respect any of it. Koodos to you for being one of the respectable guys. :)
Well I'm 19, and my metabolism sucks lol. I'm very overweight but luckily I'm 6'3 so it somewhat balances out. I know that I need to be more active and lose some weight, I need to be more active
With proper lifestyle and diet you should be able to do most of what you want to do until you're at least 75. So at 45 you should still consider youself young.
You know what ... you just don't think about it ... and you carry on. I'm 58 years old, fortunate to be very healthy. My work (Ford Factory) requires that I walk (back and forth .. over and over) 5 kilometers each day which probably is a really good thing. I take a liquid multivitamin (drink full of vitamins and minerals) every day ... and aside from losing my hair ... I still feel perfectly fine, tons of energy. Bottom line is ... just live your life .. keep active .. get proper nutrition ... and your odds improve dramatically towards being healthy. (and happily, I've never smoked - I'm sure that helps too)
As my grandmother says: Getting old is bad, but not getting old is worse.
Im 23. I will keep your words with me through life. Understandable about the age, I will not take my age for granted.
Andrew Ostrander everything he said is very true
"Metabolism and testosterone head down to Florida for the rest of your life and they won't answer the phone when you need 'em" lol
Great stuff Shannon. I'm in my mid thirties and i can feel it to. I'm not as fast and full of energy as i used to be.
Matej Srebernak ditto
It's harsh

Great video this is a topic people should be talking about more because it's very serious and you just summed it up perfectly, awesome video
I miss my childhood badly. God I miss being a kid. Now I'm sad.
I'm 54 Shannon...it's not going to get any better ;-) I'm glad you're making peace with entropy -- life is counterintuitive (Don't believe ANYTHING you read on Facebook)
I consider 45 to be pretty young honestly.
You’re not wrong. 53 year old female and fighting to keep active and get rid of the pooch belly. Hockey keeps me active
Shannon, 45 is not old .
No Shannon don't retire from TH-cam
I honestly would cry if Shannon were to retire now..lol
Yes, yes it does. I know I'm not overly old yet but I already feel the effects.
I'm so early the thumbnail hasn't processed yet

I hear ya. I will be 48 in a few months, feel about 58. Getting older sucks.

Growing old is not awful, dying young is...

How tall are you?
The Red Wings gear is appropriate. :(

The hockey research guy
Just commit to one ultra-healthy meal a day. It'll do wonders.
Can someone tell me where that fountine of youth is? XD I will gladly give an arm and a leg for it.
Pancakes and Hammers it's in your heart, and REALLY hard to find.
It's semen retention

Hop on TRT
You don't look a day over 35.
Spirit of Soup agreed, you don’t look 45
Studies show that men live longer when they are married. What the study doesn't show is ... do they actually WANT to. (ha ha ... just kidding)
