Exercise For The Over 55s

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5lb 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, 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 10lb potato sacks.

Once you’re comfortable with this move on to 25lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for a full minute.

(As I write this I have to admit that I'm at this level.)

After you feel confident at this level, try putting a potato in each of the sacks.
