Golden years.


As we approach our golden years... this might be helpful.

Here is an exercise suggested for adults over 45 and seniors, to
build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so
I thought I'd pass it on. Just don't over-do it.

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, 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 50-LB.potato sacks, and 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.


After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of
the sacks.
