What are some mundane goals you can recommend to someone trying to improve their fitness? For example, after watching a video while sitting down on the floor with my knees bent, I realised I could stand up without using my hands or resting my leg on the floor. It's indicative of core strength, right? I often do push-ups. So what else are some day-to-day actions that should become easier when improving fitness and what exercises can you do achieve them?

Recently, I traveled by air for the first time since I started strength training and handling my luggage felt so easy. I didn't have to ask for help putting my roller into the overhead bin :D

Also I can now carry all my groceries in one trip.

Increasing your step count. It's a pretty simple thing, but has been shown to reduce rates of all cause mortality.

I found that incorporating single leg exercises into my lifting routine greatly helped with some hiking that I did last week. It felt much easier.

Touching your toes.

Achieve it by stretching and just trying to touch your toes more often.
