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 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 of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-
lb potato sacks and 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). After you feel  
confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
