Excercise for the over 60's

[Dev One]

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-kg 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-kg potato bags.
Then try 50-kg potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-kg 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.

I'm going to give this a whirl....but I think I'll wait until the crop of new potatoes arrives, they have lighter skins!!!

We don't have those Kilo thingies in the Colonies. Would a 5 lb bag work just as well?

No, it needs to be at least a cwt.
