Only passing this onto my senior friends - (don't be offended -old is old)
If you don't have a gym membership, try this. I came across this exercise
suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength in
the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so 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 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.
