Reaching device
As we get older it is not always easy to pick things up off the floor or ground. You become hesitant because the risk of falling and breaking bones is too great. Even if you don’t fall you may strain your back. Or you may need to grab something off an upper shelf but you can’t reach it. You could get out a small ladder but once again you are afraid that you might fall.
Luckily there is a product that will enable to pick things off the ground or floor without the fear of falling and to get things down from an upper shelf.
The product is the Pik Stick pro Reaching Arm.
How does it work?
The light weight device has an easy gripping handle that with a slight grip can close the 5 and ½ inch. And you don’t have to worry about dropping anything because there is a locking mechanism that holds on to anything that you grab on to.
You don’t have to worry about putting it together because it comes assembled and is ready to use. It comes in 3 lengths, 26", 32" and 48".

Strength and resistance training for older folks
As we get older our bodies go through different changes such as the loss of muscle and strength. Fortunately you can slow down the decline with strength or resistance training. Many people assume that weight lifting of any kind isn’t appropriate for older folks. But now people realize that you can strengthen your muscles no matter how old you are! That’s not to say that you will be doing heavy repetitions many times a week, a gradual program approved by a doctor will show positive results in a short period of time. Stronger arm and leg strength gives you more confidence and it will also help your balance.
So start small with your resistance training and you will be glad that you did.
