Abstract
A method for demonstrating lifting technique includes providing a substantially rectangular box in a first stationary position on a ground surface, inserting a first weight into the box, approaching the box in the first stationary position at approximately a 45.degree. angle such that one's feet are wider than shoulder distance apart when one is adjacent the box, bending one's knees such that one's body is close to the box, and lifting the box from the first stationary position. The box has an internal storage area formed by a top wall, a bottom wall contacting the ground surface in the first stationary position and being movable to provide access to the internal storage area, a front wall, a back wall, and first and second opposed side walls. The first and second side walls each have handles thereon adjacent the top wall so that the box may be lifted with or without the handles. After lifting the box with the handles the first time, the method further includes returning the box to the first stationary position, inverting the box to a second stationary position wherein the top wall contacts the ground surface and wherein the handles are not readily accessible, approaching the box a…
