2026 Motivation: Exercise of the month – Scarf Grab

This month’s Exercise of the Month is a simple but effective challenge designed to improve hand dexterity, grip strength, coordination and reaction speed—all important for everyday tasks such as dressing, cooking and handling objects. Stand nice and tall, holding two scarves (or teatowels or pillowcases) loosely by your sides, and when you’re ready, race to scrunch and bundle both items into one hand as quickly as you can. Make it fun by timing yourself and trying to beat your score over the month, or even challenge yourself by switching hands or competing with friends and family. This quick activity is great for building hand strength, coordination, and reaction speed—so keep practising and see just how fast you can get! Small improvements can make everyday activities like dressing, cooking and handling objects easier.
