I developed some knee pain after stopping running at school and the phsyio said its due to stopping and the joint muscles not being as strong
I have just wasted precious minutes of my life watching a young fit chap telling me that exercise will improve my health, oh, and by the way 88% of those who watch me preach the blindingly obvious dont subscribe to my YouTube channel.
He claims this and that and definitely preaches to avoid the fix me mentality.
Having just endured 5 months of severe knee pain I am now currently pain free thanks to a ‘fix me’ cortisone injection. This is a temporary but welcome fix of diminishing cartilage between my knee bones.
Of course you have to help yourself to fix things in your body that you are not happy with but this guy is seemingly preaching that drugs and interventions are not the way to solve a problem.
Depending on how you have lived your life physically very much depends on whether your body is now a held together wreck or classic car that has never been driven in the wet.I chose a physical career which undoubtedly has punished my physic more so than a pen pushing career and am no suffering the consequences but have no regrets.
I am definitely one of the 88% who will not be lining his YouTube pocket by subscription.
On a purely technical point, subscribing to a YouTube channel does not line anyone’s pocket - except to the extremely limited extent that an extra subscriber boosts the chances of the channel appearing in other people’s feeds by a tiny amount.
Pocket lining only occurs when you become a “member” (or support the channel originator via Patreon) which then usually offers extra content in exchange for the monthly fee.
I subscribe to lots of YouTube channels on topics that interest me, so that I know when they release new videos, but the cost of doing that is zero.
Oh dear… This looks like me with my two pairs of glasses (apart from the beard OF COURSE). I’d forget where I had put the other pair if I didn’t have them both on my head.
Wrinkles and barbells! NYT.
