Exercises for seniors

[heycods]

>I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength <br />>in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on. <br />>The article suggested doing it three days a week. Begin by standing on a <br />>comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.<br />><br />>With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from <br />>your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full <br />>minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position <br />>for just a bit longer.<br />><br />>After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks. Then<br />>50-lb. potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a <br />>100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than <br />>a full minute.<br />><br />>Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

It works even better with a cuppajoe, heycods. Alternate that with a longneck or a highball glass.

Good on! I passed it on to some others that need the exercise.

Great timing - I just picked up some gunny sacks (prior use was potato sacks, 100lb) can accept orders; I'll keep the cost low for 'us' retires; but, the shipping may 'kill you' (in keeping with on-line purchasing).
