For Us Older Guys!

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

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.:biggrin::biggrin::wink:

ROTFLMAO!

MOST of us "older guys" are not even allowed to eat potatoes! For that matter, my doctor says I should avoid EVERYTHING white. My wife is pretty ticked off about that, too, but Dr's orders are Dr's orders

After feeling comfortable with the 100 pound bag can we start out with a smaller red potato?

You guys are KILLING me! Time for a new keyboard, AGAIN! This one is full of DIET green tea.....which goos up the keys just as badly are regular, sweet, iced tea!

Is that because you went against doctors orders and add "white" sugar to the tea?

I was going to start with a potato chip but forgot and ate them all. Oh well back to the gym (grocery store)
