EXERCISE FOR THE OVER 60'S

This seems a little daunting to start with but if you apply yourself you may find that it's not as difficult as you think.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-kg potato sack 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-kg potato sacks.
Then try 25-kg potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50-kg potato sack 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 sack.

That sounds along the likes of the late Les Dawson's excerise regime.

Every morning it's up 2 3 down 2 3




then the other eye lid!

WHY?
I swim a mile every day, and eat the spuds

Don't think I'm quite up to that at the moment.  Can I start with a couple of crisp packets?
