When Sitting Hurts

Aging doesn’t begin with the face.
It starts in the parts of the body we rarely notice—
the muscles deep in our torso, the joints we take for granted.

Wrinkles may catch our attention,
but we can convince ourselves they’re signs of wisdom or beauty.
The real concern is the quiet loss of muscle.
Standing or walking for long periods becomes harder.
Even sitting too long starts to hurt.

When sitting becomes uncomfortable,
it’s a signal to get up and move.
Push your body just enough to feel the effort.
Build strength through daily repetition.
And when your hips feel alive again,
even your face begins to glow.
