You give somebody a weight and even better, you can say to somebody, right, how do you move that? This is why I really don't believe in stack and tilt. You know, it's funny that they've all— there's only one left. Because if you stand with that and I say throw it, you know, if you're there and you say, I'm going to throw it that way, give me half a dozen and that'll be the end of me. So if you said to somebody, right, move to throw that, you've got to go there, you've got to go there, haven't you? After a while I could wind that up and I could throw the darn thing. Yeah? So whether you need a kit, your point is saying to get people to move, whether somebody can, maybe, probably the athlete, you probably would give him the 3-pound ball because he knows to get here and he can fire it. And somebody who's never felt something, You give them something quite heavy, give them a 20-pound weight, and say, "Well, how would you move that?" Because these muscles are— that's the only way you can do it, isn't it? You've got to stand solid, and you think, "Well, how do I move that?" You say to them, "Do it with your shoulders." "Oh, cripes!" "Do it with your legs." "Cripes!" "Try your belly."
