More Exercises for Seniors

This will keep all of us young and supple. Do them daily to build your arm and shoulder muscles.

Begin by standing outside, behind the house, and with a 5-lb potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out to your sides and hold them there as long as you can.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks, and then 50-lb potato sacks. Finally you will get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a minute.


Next, start putting a few potatoes in the sack, but be careful not to overdo.
