Exercise Older Adults
Exercise Guide For Older Adults?
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.
After a couple of more weeks, move up to 50-lb potato sacks.
When you have mastered this, 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.
Hahaha! Actually cracked me up, spit Ovaltine all down my clean jim jams! lol:)-)

Sansone takes you through her gentle in-home walking program with a peppy (but not too chipper) spirit on a set that looks like a barely furnished living room. She doesn’t bother with a cast of dozens–it’s ju… |
