Old age excercise.

Read it all.
**************
A fascinating routine!
I just came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle
strength in the arms and shoulders. The article suggested doing it three
days a week. Just don't over-do it.

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, 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.
