Staying Fit Over 50

HOW TO STAY FIT AFTER 50:

Just came across this exercise suggested for older adults designed to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on to the forum. 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.

You had me too. I was beginning to think that you must be a physical marvel.

snfexpress - for the upper body (talking on the level) you could us the firm with bands. This will help. No weights, just bands (it is a lot harder than you would think)
