Put one or two books in a backpack, hold it against your chest, and walk.
Carry it
How to do it
- One or two books. If it is hard to hold, take one out.
- Stand tall: don't lean back.
- Small steps, and breathe the whole way.
Breathe normally the whole way. Never hold your breath.
- A backpack, One or two books
- Somewhere you can run a few steps and turn round.
- Light is right. If it's hard to hold, put it down.
Watch out for this
Make it fit you
The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.
Easier
Harder
- Walk further, not heavier. The bag never gets heavier than two books.
Sitting down? Hold the bag on your lap and press it up and down ten times.
