For this record, you’ll need a tennis racket – but don’t worry if you’re not a fan of the sport, as the challenge has nothing to do with tennis. 

Just grab a tennis racket without any strings, place it on the floor, step inside it and then see how many times you can pass through it in just half a minute!

You can choose to go head to toe or toe to head, but you must stick to one way – no switching. 🎾
