Start Now, Thank Yourself Later: Why Small Changes in Your 40s Shape Your Future Mobility

We’ve all been there — hours at the desk, deep in focus, only to stand up and feel like we’ve aged 10 years in one afternoon. The truth is, our bodies were never designed to sit all day. But the good news? A few simple movements sprinkled through your day can make a world of difference — no gym clothes or fancy equipment required.

If you’ve ever finished a long day with an achy lower back, you’re not alone. Many people assume the pain comes from a “weak core” or “bad posture,” but there’s often another quiet culprit — underactive glutes.

After surgery, it’s normal to feel nervous about moving again. You might wonder: Am I doing too much? Could I hurt myself? What’s the right way to rebuild strength? At the same time, sitting still too long can slow down recovery and make you feel stuck. It’s confusing, and you don’t want to take risks with your health.
