My new excercise program
Friday, January 30, 2009 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Community
Having reach the old age of 60 with most of my motor skills intact I though it would be good for me to get back to some exercising. This looked pretty good and not too complicated so I thought I would pass it on. If you have any you enjoy doing let the rest of know what it is.
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 at this level.)

* After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag. *
So what do you think? I really feel the 'Burn' with this exercise.

hehe Remember the old joke Philly? 'Which is heavier, a ton of rocks or a ton of feathers?'
They are equal, as they both weigh a ton.
