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-pound potato bags.
Then try 50-pound potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a
100-pound 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!
