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.
