Well, I'm not over 40, but I'm not under 25. I guess people my age don't get a forum? Well, a friend of mine sent this to me so I thought I'd share it:

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 where you can
lift a 100-lb potato sack 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 of the
sacks.

Hmmm, who has two 50-lb sacks of potatos?
