Fitness for Seniors

I came across this exercise, suggested for seniors, to build

muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems easy,

so I thought I'd pass it on. The article suggests trying to

do the exercise three days a week.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have

plenty of room on each side of your body.

With a five-pound potato sack in each hand, extend your arms

straight out from each side, and hold them there as long as you

can. Try to reach a full minute, then put down your arms and

relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position just

a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to ten-pound sacks. Next,

move up to 50-pound sacks, and eventually try to get to 100-

pound sacks in each hand, while holding your arms straight

for more than a full minute.

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

the sacks.
