Exercise program 4 over 60's
« on: July 24, 2012, 08:37:47 pm »
This was just emailed to me.....

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60

1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 at this level.)

5. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
Try not! Do,
or do not
There is no try

I just tried it again Merlin, but it's a flawed system...  I can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold my arms straight for more than a full minute, but when I wanted to progress to the next level, I haven't been able to lift the potato to put it in the sack!!! ::) ::) ::)
