The half-built house - plasterboard off in one spot…what was I up to? Surely I’ve finished.
Case in Point 3
When shopping at the supermarket I’m careful (Covid careful) to use my own nattily decorated shopping jeep, rather than a supermarket trolley. As I push the jeep up my sloping drive with a full load, the weight of the shopping causes the material part of the jeep to come off its frame, thus twisting my torso awkwardly. I can already hear my physio bewailing the total neglect of my core muscles which would have prevented such an injury!

Body core strengthening X 10
Knees raised, feet on sheet, cushion between legs, pelvic floor pull-ups
It’s the one I dread because it requires so much effort. Where are those bloody muscles? Am I actually doing them? Should do them more often especially when driving.. seven (was it seven?).. keep going, concentrate… think of a beautifully firm pelvic floor – saving your back! Incontinence begone.
Case in Point 4
I am careful about preventing fire so have a smoke alarm installed in the kitchen. When I use the toaster it screams out its piercing sound so I have to frantically wave a tea towel to disperse the smoke and end up straining the rotator cuff on my waving arm..

Upper arm strengthening x 20
Lying on right side, place cushion under left slightly bent arm and using fairly hard-to-locate muscle to lift from the elbow up.
