Being adequately physically fit is a challenge for me. I can imagine in an emergency situation, I would be limited. What functional movements do you think are most important for activities of daily living in a SHTF situation?
Stamina I think is the right answer for our house. The wife can help for about 15-20 minutes, then wiped out for hours. Where I need help is food prep, forget the standing at the counter, just cutting up stuff takes its tollStamina is an issue for me.
I think grip strength is another area of concern for me, based on how many tasks I ask DH to do because my grip is not strong enough. I can't think of a specific functional goal right now.
Pacing might help with that type of fatigue. I used to use a HIIT timer app. 3 minutes activity, 10 or 15 minutes rest. Amazing what can get done 3 minutes at a time. I could sustain it for about 2 hours. If I think of the book that taught me how to pace, I will share it. My doctor had recommended it.Stamina I think is the right answer for our house.

Coffee helps. I'm back down to my target weight now and feel better.I work in bursts. My asthma causes me issues. So I tend to take a lawn chair with me when Im doing things. So I can work intensely for 15 minutes then take a 5 minute breather. All depends on how much I stress my lungs.
Doesn't help that I'm too fat. Doctor says I need to fight influences and not eat as much. Thinks my physical ability is fine for my age. Just need diet adjustments.
