I heard of a great excercise routine that I want to pass on to you, it is posted below.......
It is working well for me.............
EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 2 kg potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can, and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. Try to reach a full minute.
After a couple of weeks at this level, move up to 5 kg potato bags.
Then try 10 kg potato bags and eventually try to get to the point that you can lift a 20 kg potato bag in each hand
and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute. (I'm currently at this level).
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
