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
a 100-lb potato sack 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 of the sacks.
