EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have
plenty of room at each side.
1. With a 5-lb potato sack 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.
2. Each day you'll find that you can hold this
position for just a bit longer.
3. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks.
4. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try
to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand
and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm
at this level.)
5. After you feel confident at that level, put a
potato in each sack.
