My Kind of Exercise!!

I went to physical therapy tonight for my knee, and my therapist recommended that I try the following new exercise regiment so I thought I would share it with each of you....

She said that for those of us getting along in years, we should try her little secret for building our arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this regiment also! Three days a week works well.

Begin by standing outside behind the house, with a 5 lb. potato sack in each hand, then extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. If you can reach a full minute, relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10 lb. potato sacks and then 50 lb. potato sacks, and finally 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.

Next, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it at this level.
