Exercise Routine

#1 Post by Gio » Thu May 31, 2007 1:56 pm

I just came across this exercise suggested for older adults, to build
muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I
thought I'd pass it on to some of my friends. The article suggested
doing it three days a week.
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.

Exercise! that reminds me of a joke about Gio's best mate Tony bluergh! Can't be bothered telling the whole joke so I'll jump straight to the punch line,

The hooker shouts " See that's what you get for a fiver"
