Coach Peabody, counting

Hold a ball at your chest, dip your knees a little, and drive it overhead.

Dip and drive

Move something else · ages 8 to 14 · Counted in reps · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Check above you first.
  2. A small, quick dip — not a squat.
  3. Your legs throw it up; your arms just finish it.

Blow out as it goes overhead.

  • A ball
  • Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.
  • Check what's above you before you reach up.
  • Light is right. If it's hard to hold, put it down.

Watch out for this

A hand's width of dip, no more. It is a quick bounce, not a squat.
Dipping all the way into a squat.

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.

Harder

  • Pause overhead for two seconds every time.
