So one day, while watching TV, I decided I should get more exercise. I stood up, and did two sets of ten squats. Squats that were nice, deep, and perfect in form.



Let me tell you, the next morning I thought I had sciatica. Every time I went to stand, my butt cramped up like a mobster had me tethered to a car battery. After a few failed attempts I was standing. But my plight was far from over. Now I had to make it to the bathroom. I'll be honest. I thought about just peeing where I stood. Realizing that cleaning up involved more walking than making it to the toilet, I dismissed that plan. I started walking in small, slow, deliberate steps. By the time I made it to the bathroom, I was finally walking pretty well.



And that's how I realized I'm not only way out of shape, but I'm a far cry from 30.
Hey, good job though, at least you aren't just sitting around waiting for the reaper!!! Keep exercising, and you will eventually feel better, stronger, and have more energy [emoji123]!!!
