I feel like the solution is given in the meme.
Funny story! My kids were appalled that we were on a 1-mile hike to the creek last summer.
“ONE MILE!?”
Little shits were sore as hell walking out. Guess what? By the end of summer, a 2-mile round trip in the sand was nothing to them. Guess what else? We used to jog a mile, at the start of gym class in the 70s.
Yeah a mile is just a 20 minute walk.
People are just freaking lazy these days.
Our bodies weren’t meant to do nothing all day
and yet I don’t feel like doing anything at all
my brain is sabotaging my body
We can adapt to most things. That means we can make our body adapt to bed rotting all day or working out first thing in the morning. It just takes a consistent schedule. To paraphrase a running monkey from Bojack Horseman, “it’s gets easier, but you gotta do it everyday. That’s the hard part, but it does get easier.”
Gotta trick your brain, once you start moving regularly, you will probably start to enjoy it.
I was never into any sport and after a few attempts of going to the gym and lasting a few months at best, I doubt I’ll ever like it. Walking is fine, but it’s not an option for most of the winter and it’s not enough on its own for me.
I thought it was pretty well-known by now that doing nothing is really bad for you.
- Get a hight adjustable desk
- Adjust chair until your legs form a 90° angle
- Adjust table until arms form 90° angle (sit very close to the table, remove armrests if possible)
- Adjust monitor top edge to your eye hight or slightly above (tilt monitors up a bit)
- Occasionally stand up

Fibro gang rise up… Slowly
Your best posture is your next posture. Try to change it frequently.
But you’re not doing nothing. Sitting uses your muscles. If you’re sitting all day then you’re overusing those muscles, which leads to muscle tension and spasms. Thus pain.
It’s like beating yourself in the head all day with a hammer and then wondering why you have a headache.
,and after doing something all day
