Continuing our popular series "Uncle Ben's Tips for Better Living," when one exercises--Uncle Ben advises against all forms of exercise--in a seated position for a prolonged period of time, for example in bicycling or in kayaking, one will notice that upon completion when one stands up one doesn't have one's legs at first. The position one has been in for so long has deadened the nerves from the waist down, there is a lack of muscular control and one is a bit wobbly. Uncle Ben recommends a slow rise and a slow walk-about for a minute or two.
One may also experience upon standing up after a prolonged period of exercise in a seated position on a hard surface a sudden lack of control over other muscles located beneath one's waist. This can be quite startling. In this event "shaking a leg" for a minute or so does not alleviate the difficulty. Immediate, decisive action must be taken and Uncle Ben recommends recourse to any secluded area such as a body of water or the woods. Uncle Ben recommends that one not have a photograph-taking son with one on these occasions.
