[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 187446, member: 1991"] A friend of mine heard that I'm trying to lose weight and that I have trouble exercising. Years ago I used to lift weights, she thought this simple alternative would be something I could o, without having to pay gym memberships or anything. It just uses easy to acquire alternatives. 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, my friend told me). - - - - - After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag. Ya know? I just might even be able to manage this. Marg [/QUOTE]
