Exercise program: For Those Of Us Getting On in Years (And Weight)
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
as 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.
