Exercises For Senior Citizens


Staying fit is important,

especially as we get older.

Everybody knows how important it is to exercise as we grow older. Here are a few of my easy suggestions:


I started by standing in the garden, rain hail or shine and, with a five pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there as long as I can, at least 30 seconds, though...and increase that time incrementally.

After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks, then 20 pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 50 pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute!

Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.

I spend $4 a day...
...and save $5 on coffee & junk!
