Getting a leg up

When the legs get weak, you feel that moving the body itself is difficult and cumbersome. This creates a vicious cycle of inactivity leading to more inactivity. If you sit around because you feel weak, your muscle mass lessens and you become more weak. The aging process of the legs rapidly progresses due to prolonged lack of exercise, and eventually it becomes difficult to even sit down and stand up, which is the picture of old age that we all dread.
To be alive is to move. Be appreciative about the fact that you have two legs that can sustain the body, that you can go anywhere on them, and move your legs in earnest. The more you move them, the stronger the muscles will get.
