Just came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle
strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd
pass it on to some of my friends and family. 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.
Eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb
potato sack in each hand and hol d 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 of the
sacks.
