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.
