Great Exercise For Seniors

GREAT EXERCISE FOR SENIORS

I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength
in the arms and shoulders. It's so easy, I thought I'd pass it on.

The article suggested 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,
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, and 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.
