	Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 3 Kg 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. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 5 Kg potato bags. Then try 25 Kg potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50 Kg potato bag 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 bag. :D
