Exercise for people over 50

Exercise for people over 50

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 (or who feel like it)

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room
at 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 of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. 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.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

Thanks, Donna. This is why I always read the last page of a book first.

Re: Exercise for people over 50

Donna, I bought a potato a few months ago, thinking I might eventually
figure out how to cook it.

I know what to do now, thanks to your suggestion, and will remove it
from on top of the refrigerator where those odd leggy things are
growing out of the potato.

A one! A two!

gullible--life's more fun that way!)
