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 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, 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 sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack 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 of the sacks.

Yeah!
Right!

OK you got my head spinning. Now what?
At my age, after the heart pills, the blood pressure pills and the arthitis pills and all those other little ones I'm already tired and you want me to exercise

I take advantage of "full hookups" when I can.

Sometimes I have to be unconnected.
