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 now at this level.)
