Good for

  • Strong partners
  • Showing off
  • Out of bed

How to do it

  1. The one being carried puts an arm round their partner's neck.

  2. The carrier bends their knees, puts one arm behind their partner's back and the other under their knees.

  3. Lift with your legs and hold them close to your chest.

  4. Walk a few steps and set them down gently.

Tips

  • Hold them close to your body; arms out is far heavier.
  • Lift from a sofa or bed, not from the floor.
  • Skip it with a bad back, and put them down before your arms shake.
