@lovely_shenique_cook: 🌸I love every minute of exercising with my 85-year-old mom. 🌸 Upper body strength makes every day tasks easier like opening a door and carrying groceries. It can also help improve posture and prevent injuries. All this can help you maintain independence as you age. 🌸Let’s get strong together, every age and stage!💪 👇The workout👇 1. Overhead shoulder press 2. Jabs 3. Front raise 4. single arm rows (both arms) 5. Bicep curls ~Try 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise. Take a break between each set ~I am using 5 pound dumbbells. My mom is using 2 pounds. Use the weight that is right for you. Water bottles or just body weight is fine as well. ~Go slow and remember consistency is is key ~ Research suggest protein requirements may be higher in older adults. Don’t forget to add good quality protein at each meal to support muscle growth and maintenance. #seniorfitness#beginnerfitness#homeworkout#healthyaging#fitnessmotivation
