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.

    Is there significance to the potato bags?

    I was about to say that I'm tired thinking of it, then I read your punchline. Brilliant. I love it.
