Title: Exercise for Older People
Post by: Rodders on August 11, 2014, 15:45

Begin by standing on a comfortable flat 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 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 into each bag.  (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Fstrong_zps1a8ef484.gif&hash=8cae168b57ad053344af0fde36bd2e6348ad5615)
