EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50


Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.With a 5-lb 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, 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-lb potato bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I am now at this level)


After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

can I start with bags of potato chips?

No pale you can not each the potato chips.

Thanks. I needed a good giggle today. Thankfully, my own exercise program has progressed a bit beyond this level. Although bags of chips does sound mighty tempting there, Pale.

O.K., this joke is so bad, the decision has been made to give you the sack...

Ida-ho-ping to try that tonite.

^^I've got my (potato) eye on you!

Go Oreida head and try that Peej.

since we're into bad jokes...

Where are the easiest women from? Idaho...

You can't do potato chips, Pale. You can't stop at one remember...you would eventually put so many potato chips in the bags that you would have to eat some to counter. And that would defeat the whole purpose.

well, he may be able to stop at one...since he has to suck on them until they get soft and moist, seeing as people his age have no teeth

goodnight, I could respond but the lady mods would be all over me like flies on a dirty shirt!!!

But be careful, would hate for you to drop a bag and have smashed-toes and then have to peel them off the floor.

My eyes got bigger and bigger as I read the first post...why? because I was picturing the 50-lb feed bags I haul to my barn on way to regular of an occassion...I couldn't imagine holding one straight out, even one in each hand for proper balance....therefore, the punch line left me a bit.....what.....de-tatered?

I forwarded this to someone who clearly didn't read it all the way through - the response I got was 'maybe start with 2 lb bags'. I laughed as hard at that as the original!

how come only women are laughing?

I could do 50!

50 what.

potato chip bags.........

What s SPUD!!!!

Come on! Yukon do it!

Pale is such a Golden Flake.

Oh, fer frying out loud! Stop it, will you?! You're all a bunch of common tators.

Why such a chip on your shoulder. We just want to hash it out a little more.
