Exercise For Seniors

(1/3) > >>

hillsbororiver:
I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle
strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems fairly easy, so I thought
I'd pass it on. The article suggests doing it three days a week.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of
room at each side. With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your
arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you
can.

Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day, you'll find that
you can hold this position for just a bit longer.


After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks.


Then 50-lb. potato sacks; then eventually try to get to where you can
lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for
a full minute.
 


Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack
