You don’t have to be a body builder to exercise
Try some arm raises:
- Sit with your back supported in an armless chair.
- Keep your feet flat on floor and the same width as your shoulders.
- Hold hands straight down at your sides, with palms facing inward. (You can hold a weight if you want.)
- Raise both arms to shoulder height as shown in photo. Hold for 1 second.
- Slowly lower arms to sides. Pause.
- Repeat 8 to 15 times. Rest; then do another set of 8 to 15 repetitions.
Of course, talk to your primary care provider before you start an exercise program. |
