To Chew On:
Wednesday
– The Cleansing of Our Temple
John
2:16 (NKJV)
And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things
away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
Thought For The Day:
Today I will look through the rooms of my life with
Christ and ask what He wants changed…
We Thank You Lord, we cry up to you, that we love you
more each and every day and want to know you at a deeper level as you pour down
Your Wisdom and Decrement. We are growing in Wisdom every day and getting stronger
and healthier!!! J
Back
Muscle Exercise For Seniors And The Elderly
Back muscle exercise for seniors and the elderly like the
arm raise below will help strengthen and stabilize your upper and lower back
muscles.
These are great to do while you are lying in bed or on
the couch. Arm raises on your back with your knees bent are a good way to
gently stretch and strengthen a back that is tired or sore due to overuse.
This will also help with shoulder range of motion,
scapular mobility and chest expansion if you incorporate breathing exercises
along with the movement.
Think about relaxing the chest and neck muscles as you
raise your arm up.
Then breathe in and try to bring the air all the way to
your abdomen.
If done correctly, your abdomen will rise as the air
comes in.
