Sitting for long periods, limiting movement, or postponing physical activity may seem comfortable… but the body does not like inactivity. The muscles in the legs, back, and abdomen are essential for feeling stable. When they are underused, a feeling of insecurity can gradually develop.
The good news: There is no need to run a marathon. A daily walk of 20 to 30 minutes, a few stretches morning and evening, or gentle disciplines like yoga or tai chi are enough to improve coordination and self-confidence.
