EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have
plenty of room on each side. With a 5-lb potato bag in each
hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold
them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute,
and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for
just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb
potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually
try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each
hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
(I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in
each bag.
