You're right: this is a great way to develop upper arm strength. Kneading your own bread by hand is another good way to develop strength and burn fat, though perhaps it doesn't make up for all the calories consumed when you eat what you've baked...<br /><br />I LOVE the smell of bread baking. Whenever I walk by a bakery, I instantly feel comforted and happy.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-52733525945613950872009-10-08T08:57:30.942-05:002009-10-08T08:57:30.942-05:00Leading us around by the nose - great idea!

I can remember Mom beating the dough 300 strokes. No mixer, no electricty. I'd help her count.
