Well actually, for a woman - yes it does.

Provided you don't get too hung up on the odd wrinkle - you are generally wiser, funnier, and like yourself more than you ever have before.

(..and sex is even better because of it... )

Mind you - we don't have to worry about man-thangs....

Excellent!

I had to give up football at 32 when I snapped my last remaining cruciate ligament. Too much football has left me with collapsible knees (as a result of playing at full back), a slowly fusing neck (as a result of playing at centre half) and fingers that won't bend (as a result of playing in goal). Great game! Enjoy it while you can.

Played first full 11-a-side match since May on Saturday (mostly cardio-couch work in between) end of the season I could play 2 hours on a heavy pitch and not feel it the next day. 45 mins would have suited but injuries left me on for the full game. 2 days later everything is hurting (wrong side of 40, probably time to pack in), feel like I have been struck by a large automobile.
Bike is primed for a couple of runs before the next match, got to get the lungs working better, it's almost time to give up and get fat but not yet, going to give it one more season....

You won't be prime again until you reach 37.

32, pushing 33. I play football more than I ever did. I scored 3 goals in the last two weeks (never score)

Ah, this is where some of you go wrong. My aim was to do no exercise between 30 and 40, thus reducing wear and tear on joints and organs and prolonging my life by 10 years at the other end. So at 40 I'll feel 30, 50/40 etc...

I get the occasional spurt but it rarely lasts.

Two comments:

1) As you get older you will probably spurt a fair bit less than when you are young....... (it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night ).

2) Shirley by definition a spurt won't last?

Bodywise, your 30's are the best. 40's are great for really living life. Mentally you feel like you're 30 but the body starts to go downhill, despite exercising more.

I wonder what 50's are like? Anyone here?

I cycle to work daily (50 mins total)
I swim twice a week.
My Sunday beach walk is two hours.
I play five a side soccer.
Having played soccer since Ive been seven the only injury I sustained was a fractured toe -never broke a bone apart from that (which happened on the last day of the season in the South London amateur division back in 95 )

Over the past year iVe missed a half day at work - through oversleeping - silly me was out salsa dancing till 3am on a Wednesday night -still made it in for noon and worked through to eight pm to finalise a project delivery.

Im 50 next May.

Never felt better.

I have no secrets save that I do not drink and for reasons I cant explain - a little healing energy and help from a certain Angel.

I went for a bike ride the other night on my new shiny mountain bike, and "p*ssed it", the usual root I take I get puffed out at various points but just sailed through.

Keep it up. It was the same for me until about 33. At the top end of physical peak. Used to play 2x per week, one evening used to have 2 sessions of football and never lost the second session. Amazing football, amazing buzz. Good highs, felt sharp until..... the proper game...when...yes...I snapped my cruciate ligament. Had knee op, off for 6 months with leg strapped between 2 metal bars for that period. Always getting driven to all the pubs, always got a seat, always got served at the bar first(there are pros to injury for a while)

But seriously, enjoy it but sometime pays to be a little cautious. Since my knee op approx 4 years ago, football has never felt the same. Can't feel half the upper shin since nerve were cut through, can still feel the pin in lower part of knee. I doesnt work properly anymore.

Just don't get injured.

Wait until you are in your 50's will a life time of self abuse behind you

Too much drink, stress, rubbish (and very good) food and pot-noodleing have done for me. The last couple of days my left sholder and arm have been giving me grief and all my other joints crack.
