IT'S TIME TO WORK-OUT
SG FAN MAIL ENDORSED EXCERCISE PLAN
Begin your routine 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 eventually work up to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold it your arms straight for
more than a full minute. (I'm currently at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
