victoriasews Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
