Exercise program for those getting on in years
I thought I would let you in on a little secret I've found for developing my arm and shoulder muscles. You might wish to adopt this regimen, 3 days a week.
ÂÂ
I started by standing outside behind the house, and with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand.  I extended my arms straight out to my sides and held them there as long as I could..
ÂÂ
After a few weeks, I moved up to the 10 pound potato sacks, then to 50 pound sacks, and finally I got to where I could lift a 100 pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight our for more than a full minute.
ÂÂ
Next, I started putting a few potatoes in each sack.  But I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.
