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 straight, 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.
Relax.
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 out 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.

I walk all over Boston. From the Back Bay to Cambridge. From Cambridge to MIT to Charlestown. All over the place. On bridges. Over the water. Always on foot. That's my exercise.

BlackmanX You don't have to walk all that much, Boston has that thing called the "T".  Seriously, I spent several years flying to Boston on business related matters. I found the T to be very easy to use and convenient. I get most of my exercise by jumping to conclusions and running in circles, screaming and shouting.

I kinda do this excersise program already. See, I start with a 5 lb bag of taters in one hand, and with the other, I pull one out, rinse it, and eat it. Then, I switch hands and repeat the process only slower so as to get the full excersising affect.

Shylynne, is *snickers* the same as LOL, or would that be different? It IS my favorite candy bar.  You know, everyone, I think ALLINALL is the only one who read Willow's whole post, there. It's a joke, you guys. *sigh* I use to enjoy coming here. But everyone is SOOOOO dumb.  Pretty good one, Willow. I like it. The 100 lb. bags are the heavy ones.
