Exercise for older people:
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface
where you have plenty of room on each side.
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.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position
for just a bit longer. After a couple weeks, move up
to10-lb. potato sacks. Then try 50-lb. potato sacks.
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.)
Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.
