Exercise program for people over 50

House_potato-sackBegin 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 weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks.  Then try 50-lb. potato sacks.
 
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.)
 
Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

Thanks Gene
