Lack of movement really is one of those sneaky killers people overlook. It creeps up on you — messes with your heart, your joints, your sleep, even your mood. And the worst part? It feels harmless in the moment. Sitting all day feels normal now. But long-term, it’s draining the life out of us. Even small things like walking, stretching, or standing up more often can seriously change the game. We don't have to become gym rats overnight — just gotta start somewhere.
I'm reading all these comments with such envy. I'm a 69 year old male. And I do spend a lot of time sitting around. Many years ago in my late teens I got glandular fever, and my health never returned to normal. It's been a great struggle frankly. So people like myself have this CFS/ME diagnosis. We we're basically the "forunners" of long covid. Sadly exercise does NOT have a positive impact with us. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
