EXERCISE FOR OLDER PEOPLE

Off-topic
1

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. 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, 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 sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then 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. (I’m at this level.) After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

My balance is still pretty good, I can fall asleep in the chair and wake up in the morning to find I haven’t spilled a drop!

My mum is 71.

When she comes down at school holidays she does all the washing, ironing and cooking.

She also scrubs my kitchen floor (real teracotta tiles) and polishes them.

I tell her it keeps jer fit and stops the old bones from ceasing up.

Can we book her in for term times?

I started out, as directed, with the potato sacks. Damned if I could stay the course.

Re read the post. This time to the end.

B*stard!

It’s so great to be able to go to work and not worry about any of the chores.
