Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of
room at each side.
With a 5-lb 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. Repeat three times.
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-lb potato bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags.
Then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb 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 and repeat each step.
