Seniors should never start an exercise program without the advise of their physician. Aerobic exercise puts life sustaining blood under pressure and circulates it to all the body organs and vital tissues to renew and sustain the cells therein. Muscles, cartilage and bones are vitalized. A good functioning body results with feelings of well being, ambition and lack of stress. The mind becomes more alert and the appetite is diminished.
Less sleep is required.
Two hand bar bells three pounds each or more if desired. Any exercise program must be started very slowly. Do a few minutes a day until the desired level of exercise is achieved. At the beginning of exercise stop to rest if one feels tired. Never exercise to exhaustion.
