Mountain Biking:
3 x 6 minute downhill runs gripping the handlebars/brakes during the downhills to keep my fat azz from going over the bars.
seriously, the legs are starting to get back in shape and my girl even commented that my butt was firmer and the lungs are doing ok...but, my hands are aching like hell halfway through 3 downhill runs on my loop.
oh, one of my favorites was walking with an 8x8x16 concrete block pinch gripped by the center web. one in each hand @ 32 lbs each....not much for you serious guys but ok starter.
I've been doing landscaping job on the side recently where I had to carry 50 pound bags of topsoil and manure down 9 deep landscaping steps and about 40' further around the back of the house. I tamped the bags down and gripped the plastic bag in my fists. one each hand.
on the first day I carried 24 bags...so 12 x 50#

It's simpler than you think.
