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.
Sounds like my kind of exercise. I’ll start tomorrow. ๐
Why wait?
๐
:)) and I didn’t see it coming!!
I shall have done my exercise for today when I lift a pint or two…. ๐
And there is me believing it :)):))
I started to tell this to Astrid then she told me I’d sent it her once….have you anything for amnesia?
Now that is something I can do:))
Erm….yes; a crisp bag could be a starting point to add to the potato and pint exercise experience.
๐
Neither did I. ๐
Well….why not. A bigger bag and the addition of a potato could be turn into quite a useful exercise regime. You could reward yourself with a potato or two.
:yes:
Not yet…I could work on it. โ
That’s what I thought too. Do reward your efforts with a potato. ๐
With butter and sour cream and chives hmmmmm that was worth the exercise xx
Without the butter for me, but the rest sounds positively luscious. ๐
That is hysterical. I was taking it in word for word and thinking I’d have to buy another bag of spuds this week to even the weight out.
Doh!
I can lift one potato on each hand! pft :))
:))
It reads like exercises for strengthening the legs for skiing, using bags of sugar, the difference being,the bags of sugar do have the weight of sugary contents.
There’s nothing to stop you buying the extra spuds and making a start…
Great stuff…when do you start juggling them?
๐
At least… it is more edible than barbells… :)) :))
Brilliant :)) I think I could manage that.
Edible when you graduate to using potatoes!
:))
PS are barbells ‘dumbells’?
Let me know how you progress. ๐
You come like Swartzeneger r Stallone, only with Potatoes ?
And Spinachs… Isn’t it better ?… :))
Dumbells….definitely. I think potatoes offer edible extras as well as the built up muscles. :yes:
Barbells, Dumbells??? Je voulais dire Haltรจres…
Halteres ….goodness, gracious me! Ca semble comme celui en mettre sur les chevalles. A Halter. โ
