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.
Great advice, THANK YOU.
At work they provide trainers, 24/7.....
They will tailor a special program for you AND, I can even go each day, time willing, and train with them for 30 minutes to an hour.
Also, they provide online counselors who will help you reach your goals too.
My company is BIG on health, etc, and they are very generous in their support.
BTW, I just dipped into the 220's today, hallelujah
