Here is another good one.....Bighuey wrote:I heard of an excercise today for mainly older people. Lay down on the floor and get yourself up to a standing position several times in a row without grabbing onto anything to help yourself up. The thinking on that is, if you fall you would be able to get up again.
Great Potato Exercise
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato bag 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 bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag 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 bag.

Love that exercise routine but it probably belongs in The Smugglers thread
