Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.
If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.
Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.
Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?
If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.
Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.
okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.
So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.
If your answer to any of those was "no", I cannot emphasize enough that this isn't just "bummer, guess it's gone forever". You can get that mobility back, it is actually very achievable with the right modifications for your level!
This is the very simple "starting from zero muscles" program I followed, highly recommend it or something similar:

I am someone who detest exercising since childhood, due to my mother always pointing out my weight and telling me to run (i am not even that heavy, for reference I was 163cm and 65kg back then). Fast forward to college, i can barely run 200m without wanting to faint. And my weight keeps going up due to food being my escape. I keep having back pain and shoulder pain every time I wake up.
A couple of years ago, while doing my masters I decided to get serious and hire a PT. Now even though I am still "fat", I can shoulder press 20kg dumbells and squat 150kg. I can run 2km without wanting to die. I still eat whatever I want, that's why I can't really get "skinny", but muscle mass makes out for all of it.
It's all fixable, you just gotta lock in. 2026 second half resolution, let's go.
I’m gonna try and see how many I can do
