Hold a soft ball in both hands between your knees and swing it up and forwards.
Granny toss
How to do it
- Both hands under the ball.
- Bend your knees, swing it back, then stand up as you let go.
- Let your legs do the throwing.
Blow out as you let go.
- A soft ball or a rolled-up sock
- A room you can take three steps across.
- Light is right. If it's hard to hold, put it down.
- Arms out: make sure nobody is in reach.
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
- Roll it along the floor instead.
Harder
- Target toss
- Toss it over something, or at a target.
Sitting down? Toss it from a chair, both hands underneath.
