Activity: Do the Armadillo Drill

If you read the poem, perhaps you can understand that it's not so easy for humans to roll into a perfect ball. But that didn't stop someone from coming up with a popular exercise called the Armadillo Drill. Here's how you do it:

 

What You'll Need

• Yourself

• A partner

 

STEP 1

Get on your back on the floor. 

​

STEP 2

Curl your back while bringing your knees to your chest. Your elbows should touch your knees.

​

STEP 3

Hold this position while your partner holds your feet and gently rocks you back and forth and from side to side.

​

STEP 4

Switch positions with your partner.
