1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
2. With a 5lb 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.
3. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10lb potato bags.
4. Then try 50lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level)
5. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
