Pulling the Towel: dimensions of this towel that I use at the studio are about 26.5” L x 16.5” H

Dimensions do not need to be exact — just in that neighborhood

Lay the towel flat (on a table or on the floor) and roll up the long edge tightly, all the way up, so that it resembles a long pencil

Step on one end, grip the other end, and twist the rolled towel in one direction using the hand that is holding the end

As you twist and twist, the towel will eventually make a tight loop or kink in the middle — keep on twisting

Twist until there are three or four tight loops or kinks in the towel

Now grip each end with one hand, tightly, and hold at arm’s length with elbows locked. Fists face palm-down toward floor (see video).

Pull continuously with quick pulls, separating the hands and then relaxing for a split second and pulling again (see video).

Stand in a good horse or stand on one leg. Keep elbows locked and arms parallel to one another and arms straight out, level to floor.

Pull for the same number of minutes each day, and after a week or two, increase by less than 30% increase.
