Tonight we were going to have a discussion on the Wheel of Life. An overview of what it means, how it is used and interpretted, and what the Wheel of Life symbolizes in the individual development of people. Due to family responsibility, this will have to be postponed.

One of the students sent me this standing regimen last night. I believe it is worthy of consideration by all:
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. 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, 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 sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
