Coach Peabody, counting

Put something in a laundry basket and drag it across the floor behind you.

How to do it

  1. Take small steps and lean away from it a little.
  2. Pull with your legs, not by yanking with your back.
  3. Stop if it tips: pack it flatter and go again.

Breathe steadily as you walk. Never hold your breath.

  • A bucket or a laundry basket
  • 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

Stand tall, lean back a little, and walk. Your legs do this one.
Bent over double, yanking it along.

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

  • Put less in it.

Harder

  • Drag it further, or go there and back.

Sitting down? Sit on the floor and pull the basket towards you hand over hand.
