EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40
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.

Laughter is in the air, this weekend! LOL :) Let us know when you get round to two potatoes per bag...
Potatos are for making chips!
My husband and I are both laughing right now! As I began reading, I was thinking to myself that I just did this exercise, last night, standing in line at Walmart, waiting to be checked out, fighting the pre-Superbowl crowds. I like your way better!
I'll admit, I didn't see that coming! Very funny, too :D
I didn't see that coming! Very good :D
Tee hee, you had me going there! :-)
For a moment I thought you were serious.
Having just joined the 40 club I need all the hints and tips I can get
