My Southern Mama sent this one to me. Scott would say her form of exercise is picking up the phone and dialing HSC for a new gadget :)
Secret found for building arms and shoulder muscles and also trimming a little from the tum-tum. You might wish to adopt this regimen - 3 days a week works well:
I started by standing outside behind the house and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there for as long as I can.
After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks, then 50 pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 100 pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute!
Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.
I don't use HSN or QVC any more since a certain Italian Yankee Princess daughter-in-law introduced me to eBay!! I do, however, make purchases from a shopping channel in Nashville, TN called ACNtv. Very low tech you would laugh you a** off at them, but boy do they have terrific jewelry. Typing is very hard work dear and sniping stuff even harder. LOL

I'm just glad I had put my coffee cup off to the side before reading it.
