I found this exercise program that appealed to me. I am now in my 3 week. It looks promising so I thought I would pass it along.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-pound 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-pound potato sacks.
Then try 50-pound potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where
you can lift a 100-pound 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 sack.
