An Exercise for People over "50"
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty ofroom at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend yourarms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as youcan. 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 sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack 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 of the
Sacks and begin again.
