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.
