This is too true! And it is where I want to be! Right now, things like painting a room are a tough task, usually involving more than one day, because climbing ladders is hard on me. Still, I am not totally bad off, I can still haul folding bookcases about at need. But I need to get stronger.

Rock ON!

It's a bit of a workout just to make your way through one of their stores. You can cover quite a bit of mileage there.

Word.

You just supported my argument that every woman needs to do dead lifts! Exact same argument -minus the IKEA.

Even better was Friday when I lifted 150# -more than many of the guys in the gym lift. AND got nods from the guys around me for doing it.

Now picking up my 65# arthritic dog and putting her in the car is a breeze...

When I was three years old my grandfather demonstrated for me (with a balance board and some rocks) that if I could somehow get it up onto my shoulder I could carry two-thirds of my weight without difficulty. I have never ceased to thank him for this. When I walk up to the counter with a fifty pound bag of dog food on one shoulder nobody says "Do you need help with that?"

It is amazing what we can do if we put our minds to it, isn't it! And yes, being fit & strong allows us the ability to do many things!!!! I think I will invite you over to do the home body stuff! I can't draw a straight line with a ruler! :-)

I've never, ever been to an IKEA. I feel like I'm missing a vital element in my fitness regimen.

It is nice to find out that all that stuff we do to stay strong and fit actually works, isn't it?

Thanks for the laugh, and the reason to keep working out.

ha! great post, i do have to say that i love when a dude asks me if I need help and i either say, "no thanks," or "HELL NO!"

great job on the great workout!

I love it when I can do a task such as this alone. I put up a huge entertainment center for sale on craigslist once and I moved it from the living room to my hallway because I lived alone and didn't want strangers in my home in the evening if I didn't need too. It took 3 people to load it into a truck, they were amazed I was able to carry it from inside my house outside and I just felt....well strong!
