EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 45

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE  OVER 45

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.
