Shoulder Exercises for Older People

Sometimes Older people ask for good strength exercises, here's one:

For the Shoulders: 

I AM AMAZED AT HOW WELL THIS WORKS; YOU'LL SEE!!
(read all of it)


Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room
on each side.

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from
your sides. 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 bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags, and then eventually, try to get to where you
can lift a 100-lb potato bag 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 bag.
