Home Excercise Very Important for Seniors

I just came across this exercise suggestion for seniors to
build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seemed so easy,
I thought I'd pass it on to some of my friends and family. 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, and 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.(I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of
the sacks.
