Exercise For Older Adults

In the middle of this Covid-19 pandemic ....We all are getting older and it's never too late to start an exercise routine that can be easily accomplished at home.  Stay Home Stay Safe!!




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 try 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.





.... on a More Serious note....

How does exercise boost your immune system?
We’ve known for a long time that exercise can help us stay healthy. After all, it is recommended to ward off or manage such things as heart disease, diabetes, or stroke risk. But can it help you ward off things like bacterial or virus infections? Researchers from the UK recently looked into the effects that exercise has on your immunity system, and it turns out that exercise can help you protect yourself against communicable diseases, including viruses like the coronavirus.
When you exercise, the immune cells in your blood change. Your immune system is stimulated and goes into a surveillance mode taking inventory and checking if it needs to kick in. Physical activity puts enough stress on your body that the immune system goes into action. It produces more of the cells that fight infection and protects you in that way. That’s why experts recommend regular exercise.
