Exercise


EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60 40


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.

  1. Oh my goodness that was funny. I am staying with my parents as my mom fell a few weeks ago and has a fractured pelvis and when I read this to her, she had a big laugh. Thanks. I will definitely share this.
