That's a good place to start. As you increase your strength, increase your numbers and add new exercises. Way to go!0

Consider weight bearing compound exercises. They exercise multiple muscle groups and also strengthen bones ligaments and tendons. They require dumbbells or a barbell but with just three exercises you can strengthen virtuially every muscle group in your body;
Squat
Deadlift
Press
For older people they also duplicate real world movements that seniors have difficulty with;
Squat - Reaching down and picking up a grandchild. Sitting on a chair or toilet.
Deadlift - Picking up a heavy object from the ground.
Press - Putting a heavy object on a high shelf. Putting an airline carry-on bag in the overhead compartment.1
