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, and 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 try 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. (After 6 months of work I'm proud to say I am at this level finally).
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

You are so silly! I was wondering why in the world you have so many potatoes! :)
Hahaha!
Oh dear. I'm beginning to think as your title says!
Ha ha, that's my kind of exercise!!
Oh, you had me there. I was ready to heap praise upon you and ask to photos of your biceps.
Bwahahaha!!! That's exactly the chuckle I needed after a day with whiny, grumpy children. Too funny, Susanne!
I love it! Sounds like one I can manage too.
I've read this before but it still makes me grin every single time.
LOL!!! I was actually considering this exercise. I still may.
You crack me up Susanne !!!
LOL!!! I was thinking, that's an awful lot of paotatoes!
OK so there's fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, potato soup. Is your family getting tired of potatoes yet?! :0) Potato chips, hashed brown potatoes.

You had me on that one.
I think I can handle that as well.
You got me on that one Suzanne - I was amazed at your strength.

Hilarious! I sorta thought it might have been going that direction; I SO wish exercise could work that way b/c I could really go for that!
I never saw that coming. LOL
