A new exercise we found

[KeithnRita]

We all need to keep healthy and strong as we grow older. I just found this exercise and thought you might be interested. It seems so easy I thought I would pass it on to some of my friends. The article suggested doing it three days a week. But don't over-do it.

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. Hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax.

Each day, you will 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 50-lb potato sacks, and 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.

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

Hi folks,

Yup, I think I could do that!! That is as long as the potato weighed no more than a bag of MacDonalds fries!!!! LOL.

This is a great idea and I'm sure will work. I've started it and can't wait for the positive results.

My only question to Keith & Rita is what do I do with the 230 pounds of potatoes I took out of the sacks? They're piled everywhere.
