Major stiffness for me too! Its definitely a thing for me when I sit or lay down, even just for 10 minutes!! Then when i try to get up and walk my legs take a minute to get moving. Then I need to be aware of balance too.

Absolutely. When I worked at a museum that is three miles from my house, door to door, I would be so stiff by the time I parked either way it was awful trying to get moving and out of the car. After sitting in church for the service…I think I’m one of the last people to actually stand up to leave. I usually have a handful of friends around me from the other side of the sanctuary before I’m able to stand.
Btw…love your Frenchie. We have had bulldogs for 30plus years. They have been a huge benefit to my being motivated to continue to move as much as possible. 😉

Major stiffness and foot and leg cramps. I can hardly watch T.V. anymore because of this.
