Understand all things deconditioning with the help of this guide.
What is deconditioning?
Deconditioning is the medical term for when you sit or lie down for long periods of time and it begins to negatively affect your physical and mental health.
When you decondition you begin to experience a loss in strength, balance, stamina, and even mood. All of which can worsen previous conditions and/or create new health issues.
