NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION I MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP
EXERCISE PLAN
As part of my goals this next year, I came across this exercise to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy that I thought you might also want to include it as part of your goals for next year.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
Start with a 5-lb. 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, 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 sacks, then 50-lb.
potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb.
potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the
sacks, but be careful!
keep dreaming,
