Mate when you need to move it or lose it. I can no longer spend a day in bed....My body will be like: "you just spent 24 hours doing nothing but lying on your fat arse and now you want to go for a walk up a hill...Nah not going to happen."

True pandemic story...couldn't walk up a hill that I used to run up. We won't talk about the muscle knot in my left glute from sitting too long on zoom meetings.
