Fullmetal Alchemist (manga/Brotherhood); Alphonse Elric

Ed appears to think that Al joins him on his PT sessions just to be nice, because his brother is an actual prodigy but also an unmitigated fool, but the exercises actually do help – physical benefits aside, running through each part of his body in turn serves to remind him that they're there, which isn't a benefit to be dismissed out of hand.

His problems are different from Ed's; there's no muscle memory to rewire after all, seeing as he hadn't been physically been in the armour, yet all the same there's something there he needs to be reacquainted with.

(Possibly it's on the same dimension of intangibility as the three-inches-to-the-left he still feels when he wakes up wrong some mornings, but Al's not too worried; he'll know what it is when he sees it, and he will find it, eventually.)
