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, (I'm at this level) 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.
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
