It is a lot more work to beat butter or any other ingredient, such eggs or cream, by hand, but it can be done. In fact it was done by hand for hundreds of years!

Tips for beating by hand:

* If you are beating butter, soften it a little first.

* Use a whisk rather than a spoon. The helps to reduce the work involved by making each beat incorporate more air, because the whisk creates several folds or bubbles at once. * Use a medium to large sized bowl so that your arm movement is not too restricted. * Tilt the bowl a little so that it is facing the hand doing the beating. A folded cloth on the bench under the bowl can help prevent slips and spills.

* The lower arm below the elbow is the part that moves, with the hand travelling in fast circles, the wrist steady and the upper arm steady. * Rest briefly as required. Beating stiff or thick mixtures can be hard work, but it is cheaper than going to the gym! ANSWER Try using a spatula, one of the flexable kind used for scraping out the bowl. It sounds odd but they do a good job of softening the butter.
