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.
LOL thought you could use a good laugh. My sister sent me this in an e-mail. I just had to share.I will be 50 next year but hopefully be exercising now when I am only 49 I will be way ahead of this level when I turn 50.

Hee, hee. I was thinking that I would have a hard time doing that with a 5 pound bag of potatoes!
LOL!!
Hi there, I'm just visiting from the TOS Crew. I'm really, really behind on the blog walk, so doing my own moderately paced walk through now.
