One of the side effects of pred can be muscle wasting - if that is the case you need to talk to your doctor and ask for a referral to physiotherapy who shoul dbe able to giv eyou some exercises to build up your muscles.
But haven't you said you have lost a lot of weight on pred?

Yep, me too and I've always had good muscles till now.
i agree with Anhaga. Though now that they diagnosed me with osteoporosis it was recommended not to use a weighted vest for me. Darn it.
My muscles are coming back, slowly. I do gentle and light weights and especially NOT a lot of reps. Just several times a day if possible. Think my tendons and bursa and all are too weakened. So I must be careful. But learning good practices from good Physio is helpful. Just beware of ones who try to make you do too much, I went through that, and they performed back cracking on me, which I believe led to other new back issues, this was before I got DEXA scan, which my doctor should have made me get at beginning of Prednisone taking. Darn doctors.
