I've been doing the /r/bodyweightfitness beginning bodyweight strength routine. Off-and-on; currently off, currently really should be getting back on, if I can find a way to do that that's kind to myself. I really appreciate that there's a phone app (Bodyweight Fitness iirc) that goes with it so it's easy to track and to time planks etc. while I'm doing it.

I also live at the top of the stairs and carry my bike up and down every time I take it out, and up and down the stairs to the light rail.

I am continually confused by how easy it is to gain strength and muscle mass now that I'm running on testosterone. Like, I knew it was going to be easierer but this is ridiculous. Very welcome, though. I have shoulders now. My internal body image has not caught up.
