EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50



Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at
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.
