You gotta
love this one!!
Just came across this exercise
suggested for the over 40's to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders.
It seems so easy so I thought that I'd pass it on to some of my friends and
family. The article suggested doing it three days a week.
1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at
each side. With a 2kg 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, then relax.
2. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 5kg potato bag. Then 25kg potato bag and
then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50kg potato bag in each hand
and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level).
3. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the bags.
OMG you had me going there for a while...trying to think how in the world I could do this....FUNNY!
I was thinking what dishes I could make with all those spuds!!!!! Janie. Does it work with bags of potato chips?Thanks for the giggles guys! Good one Jennee!
