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.
