P.S. to earlier post:

3 cautions, Raydawg, since Rule #1 of * ahem* "Senior Fitness" is "Don't get injured!"

1) be aware of the form of each exercise. Start out with low resistance (weights, elastic bands, etc) and get the form/execution of the exercise down before increasing resistaance.

2) learn about Core Training. The body's core supports and influences virtually every exercise.

3) Look into strengthening your shoulders' rotator cuffs. I DIDN'T do this enough, tore my right rotator cuff, resulting in very painful surgery and a long, on-going recovery.

There are many good videos on the Internet to help you in this,  and a few sessions with a personal trainer might be money well spent. Google "scooby1961"....he has a goofy sense of humor, but the info Scooby preeseents is preetty solid.

Awesome you have reached 220, keep it up Dawg!
Myself I don't put a lot of faith in trainers unless they have very good credentials, most commercial gyms offer 'certification' via a written or online test that has more to do with getting customers through the machine based workouts quickly than with actual results
Scooby does have some good tips, unfortunately he is also up to here with 'bro science' so you have to take what he says with a grain of salt re 'this exercise is dangerous / will hurt you'
I've seen him say some pretty ridiculous stuff in his videos
