What is one small strength thing you did this week?

Bands, stairs, shopping bags, a chair. All of it counts. — asked by Ren

Ten minutes on the stationary bike because it was raining and I was not going out in that.

Walked up a hill I had written off and sat at the top for an hour.

Balance work I hate and do anyway, three minutes, every morning.

Carried feed bags without my back going. That is the measure on a farm.

5

RinManchester, UK

Swam. Badly. Grinning.

Saskia That is a lovely thing to have noticed.

NemoneLewes, UK

Nothing, because I crashed on Saturday and pacing means paying attention to that.

NazneenDhaka, BD

Walked to the shop and back every day this week, which is my current whole programme.

The stairs at the station instead of the escalator, deliberately, twice.

Ozzy G That is more than nothing, even if it does not feel it.

Chair-based work with the physio's sheet, which I resisted for months and now do daily.

Corridors at work, which added up to more than I expected when I actually looked.

BastianFreiburg, DE

Lifted, properly, and my grip is coming back.

Balance work I hate and do anyway, three minutes, every morning.
