Exercise for Marines Over 60


MARINE CORPS EXERCISE REGIMEN FOR
 

I know you need this program.
 
For those of us over 60 – this is a great exercise regimen – for you young’uns out there (under 60), just keep it in mind until you reach that magic 60 number!

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room on each side.  With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides.  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 currently at this level.)

 
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
