If you don't have a gym membership, try this.
I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength
in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, I thought I'd pass it on. The
article suggested doing it three days a week.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at
each side. With a 5-lb. 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, 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-lb. potato sacks. Then 50-lb. potato
sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato
sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
