SENIOR EXERCISE PROGRAM
This seems to work!!
For those of us getting on in years; I thought I would let you, my
friends, in on a little secret I've found for building my arm and shoulder muscles.
You might wish to adopt this regimen - 3 days a week works well. I start by
standing outside behind the house and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each
hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there a long as
I can.
After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks, then 50 pound potato
sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 100 pound potato sack in
each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute!
Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you
not to overdo it at this level.
