A few things I have learned since becoming weak:- when a door opens inward, just lean into it (throw your weight into it!) to open it
- use a backpack (with both straps)-- hands tire quickly when holding onto a purse or bag
- relax shoulders whenever you think of it... when driving, walking, sitting, eating-- this will release tension
- use cruise! control, that is. Both our cars engage at 25 mph, so it can be used even in neighborhoods. This saves your foot/ankle/leg from applying constant pressure.
Some of these things seem silly, but all conserve energy to be used for specific strengthening exercises or cooking dinner or whatever you really need to get accomplished today, or any day. Think about that! It's worth it to me.
