Food To Chew On:

Friday – God’s Good Pleasure

Luke 2:14 (KJV)

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Thought For The Day:

“If God is for us, who can be against us?”(Romans 8:31)

Firery Friday, we survived to see another day… It wasn’t the end of the world after all!!! What I like about Firery Friday as we exercise we are firing up our muscles, our immune system and burning calories!! So stay on Fire!!!

Start Exercises For The Elderly and Seniors Now

  Equipment

Unless you really have your heart set on that new all-purpose gym from Sears!

More than likely though it will be in your garage serving as a clothes hanger in a few short months. Setting up an exercises for the elderly and seniors program at home doesn't require a lot of investment in equipment. 

All you really need is a sturdy armless dining room or kitchen chair and a few weights.

Make sure you have athletic type shoes that offer good support such as walking or running shoes. 

Your clothing should also be comfortable and loose fitting. Find a sturdy kitchen chair to hold on to for balance.

You can use a water bottle or can of soup to lift if you don't have weights.

If you can afford to purchase small hand weights, try picking up a 2 pound, 3 pound, 5 pound and 8 pound weight.

These will likely serve the needs of older adult exercisers.

Long-Term Effects

1. Improved circulation. In response to the need to supply the muscles with more oxygen during exercise, the body increases its number of capillaries, the smallest blood vessels in the body. Existing capillaries also open wider.
