Just came across this brilliant exercise suggested for the over 40's to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy so I thought that I'd pass it on to some of my  friends and family. 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  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.
