Senior Exercise
================

A friend just shared this suggested exercise for seniors to
build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders.
It's so easy, I thought I'd pass it on.

The article suggested doing it three times a week.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have
plenty of room at each side. With a 5-pound 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-pound potato
sacks. Then use 50-pound potato sacks, and eventually try to
get to where you can lift a 100-pound potato sack in each hand
and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of
the sacks.

This is a joke issue but holding a big empty sack straight out
from your sides for over a minute isn't quite as easy as it
sounds.if your a senior Mr. Green

My Dad sent this to me thought Id share it with some of you oldsters in here.. *Kandy*
