EXERCISE WISDOM—
Begin by making sure you have sturdy, comfortable shoes and socks that will both support and cushion the foot. Stand on a flat surface, preferably one that gives slightly with impact, making sure you have ample clearance on all sides.
1. With a 5 lb. potato bag in each hand, slowly raise both arms straight out from your sides until they are directly level with your shoulders. Hold them there as long as you can. A worthy goal to begin with is 60 seconds, but do not feel bad if you cannot reach that level at first. Simply hold it as long as you can, then relax for three minutes before trying again. Shaking the arms vigorously can improve circulation and speed recovery time.
2. Within a week, many people will have been able to hold 5 lb. potato bags in this manner for at least 60 seconds. (If this does not yet apply to you, repeat the step above until it does.) When you reach the 60 second mark, repeat this process, but this time hold 10 lb. potato bags.
3. Each day, you will find that you can lift this weight a little easier, and hold it a little longer. This is an encouraging sign you are making good progress. Keep it up!
4. Before you know it, you will be able to move up to a 50 lb. potato bag, and eventually even to 100!
5. When you have increased your strength and stamina enough to hold a 100 lb. potato bag straight out by your sides for a full 60 seconds, try adding a potato in each of them. It will be hard at first…
