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 will find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to a 10 lb bag. 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 am currently at this level).

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
