My Kind of Exercise

For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for
building your arm and shoulder muscles. You might
want to adopt this regimen! Three days a week works well. Begin by standing outside behind the house, 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, if you can reach a full minute, relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks
and then 50-LB. potato sacks, and finally 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. Next, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the
sacks, but be careful not to overdo it at this level.

That sounds hard. I think I'll have a beer instead.
