EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side

With a 5kg 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 10kg potato bags.

Then try 50kg potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100kg 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.

Had me going for a while , very good
Take care

Just a small potato to start with?

Ah -this is interesting.Having seen The Shadows in Dublin on monday.,I watched in amazement Brian Bennett on the videowall work like a man possessed for around two and half hours.I wondered how he did it at his age and what he was on.This is obviously it.So own up David this is where u got it from.
Off to supermarket now to buy potatoes.Will this work with Irish spuds??

Here's a much simpler, but more effective routine.

Try it gently at first, as all good fitness instructors will tell you.
