Easy Exercise To Build Muscles

The following is an exercise to help you build muscle strength in your arms and shoulders:

Three times a week, stand on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room on 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 last a full minute, and then relax.  Each day, you'll find you can hold this position just a bit longer.  After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-pound potato sacks.  Then use 50-pound potato sacks.  Try to get where you can lift a 100-pound potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute.

When you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
