Just got this from my brother...who is even older than I am.
Quote:Subject: EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60
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 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.
