Loss of muscles in legs
Hi,
My brother is working as a software engineer and due to COVID situation, he is currently working from home. Prior to COVID, for last 2-3 he used to walk extensively to his work place, college since the places were bit far from his home.
We have observed that there is lot of muscle loss in both legs. Both legs look extremely weak.Even though he does workout for most of the days( including ones like sit-ups, lunges and Calf raise), his legs look weak.
His upper body looks perfectly alright. Is there anything we need to be concerned about? What could be the cause of this muscle loss?
