In a society with escalators, lifts, trolleys, and wheels on practically everything we sit on (yes I know toilets don't have wheels....I said practically), we have become accustomed to a lifestyle of effortless mobility. We don't walk, carry, push, drag or lift anything as much as we used to only a few years ago.
We wait 20 minutes to find a parking close to the mall door, just so we don't have a extra step. Yes I know the benefits of our modern day society, especially for people with disabilities. But just because your tired doesn't mean your disabled.
So start today to look for just one place where you can take the stairs instead of escalators and lifts (and no, I don't expect you to climb 20 stories a day). Just look for one opportunity to give those almost completely extinct muscles a bit of exercise. Just one little change, a few small steps, almost no extra effort, and you are a little bit closer a more healthy and happy you.
Please note I do not recommend this to anyone with knee problems or any other serious health problems. If in doubt, consult your medical practitioner.
