    The article suggested doing it three days a week.


    1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 2kg 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, then relax.

    2. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 5kg potato bag. Then a 25kg potato bag and then eventually try to get to where
    you can lift a 50kg potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level).

    3. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the bags. ;)
