If you do less exercise or activity you will become deconditioned. Your muscles weaken and lose bulk including the muscles you need for breathing and the large muscles in your legs and arms.
You will become more breathless as you do less activity.
If you continue to be inactive you will feel worse, need more help and eventually even simple daily tasks will be difficult.
You can prevent this.
