Exercise For Seniors

Just came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on to some of my younger friends. The article suggested doing it three days a week.
• 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 50-kg. potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-kg. 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.
