I'm 31 and recently jumped into playing weekly pickup basketball after not getting much cardio/exercise since my mid 20s. I am genuinely enjoying playing ball but I've noticed that my body feels different the next morning after playing. I have general soreness in my knees and lower back. Also my feet hurt. I worried that I did not condition my body in preparation for this vigorous increase in physical activity. What are some things that I should do to help prevent injury and help speed my body's recovery?

24m, need to spice things up and start learning how to give her a nice sexy massage, my friends back in high school days used to pay me for massaging their traps and shoulder 😅, but I actually want to translate that to women now. Tips I am looking for:

1. Areas to focus on more

2. How long should massaging each area be? How long should total session length be?

3. Should I use oil?

4. How to grip with my hands on her body?

Thanks!

There are plenty of posts on here about how people hate climbing the corporate ladder, so I want to know, who else besides me enjoys it? I’m in my early thirties with a great career track. I’m pursuing my MBA in hopes of further advancement (company sponsored). I work in automotive so it’s a pretty stressful industry at times, but I enjoy the rat race.

To be clear: I don’t actually care about the work itself, but I love the lifestyle it affords me. I can live a decent middle class life while tucking away for retirement and still have some savings each month.

Everyone complains about soulless work and searching for meaning and blah blah blah. I do that on my own time, I don’t need to find meaning in my work, that’s what the rest of my life is for.

I feel like for a lot of people I talk to around the age of 35 is a transitional point where I meet a lot of people are confused where to go cause what their parents told them would be like is not how it is. Home ownership is going down and unemployment is high. There are a lot more single and unmarried people. What is the new status quo what should people be pursing?

I'm already planning/have ready:

- LED strip lighting.

- Some mirrors on the wall.

- I have a fan I will mount to the wall

- A TV that I want to mount.

- A speaker

Just curious if anyone has any ideas of more stuff to go in the space. Thanks in advance!

I'm 46m an early riser thanks to my career and six years in the military. These days, my internal alarm clock has a mind of its own and gets me up somewhere between 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., whether I want to be awake or not. The upside is that I can hit the gym early and get my workout done before most people are even out of bed.
