New Exercise for Over Fifties
EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you
have plenty of room at each side.
With a 2kg 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 5kg potato bags.
Then try 25kg potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you
can lift a 50kg 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.

Re: New Exercise for Over Fifties
Thought it a very good jibe Cate.Then I realise I have to pick up, luckily not everyday, a 30 litre sack of cat litter. I have just done a conversion on
the weight and its 10.5 kilos or over one and a half stone. No wonder
it was heavy. Getting told old for that kind of exercise, I think I will
continue with my 2 mile walk aday.
