Weight Lifting

  • Experts

I just came across this exercise suggested for seniors (those over or

approach 50!!!), to build muscle

strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd

pass it on. The article suggested doing it three days a week.

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, but be careful. :rotfl: :rotfl:
