Exercise for those over 40 -very doable


Recommended Posts

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

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

With a 5-lb 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-lb potato bags.

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

LOL I did the same thing! I am doing the 30 day shred with Jillian Michael's (Biggest Looser trainer) and boy do I cuss her out daily! She is a killer. I'm only down about 12. 20 to go! Maybe we need the potatoe exercise program too!
