Exercise for Seniors
This exercise is suggested for seniors to build muscle strength in their
arms and shoulders. It's very easy to do, and it is suggested these
exercises be done 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, then relax. Each day, you will 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, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato
sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
