EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60 AND YOUNGER
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 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.
