Bend, Don't Break: Limbo players must pass under a horizontal bar without touching it with any part of their body.
Lower and Lower: The bar is lowered progressively after each successful pass, making the challenge increasingly demanding.
No Hands, Please: Players cannot use their hands to assist their passage underneath the bar.
Respect the Bar: The bar should be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of passing players but not so rigid as to cause injury if touched.
Clear the Area: The limbo area should be free of obstacles and tripping hazards to ensure player safety.
Crowning the Champion: The player who successfully passes under the lowest bar without touching it is declared the limbo champion.
Record Setting: Limbo records can be tracked and broken, pushing the limits of human flexibility and coordination.

Arch Your Back: Bend over at the waist to create a more arched back, allowing the bar to clear your head. | |
Bend Your Knees: Keep your knees bent to avoid tripping and to increase your flexibility. | |
Step Sideways: Move sideways instead of directly under the bar to improve balance and reduce the risk of touching it. | |
Practice Regularly: The more you practice limbo, the more flexible and confident you will become. |
