Exercise

Thanks to a friend (who, I know, I haven't seen in YEARS even tho we only live 3 hours apart!) for this classic bit of exercising advice:

Here is a little secret for building arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this regimen! Three days a week works well.

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 few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks and 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, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it.

Hee hee. ;)
