*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.
