How to do it
- For this exercise you will need a medicine ball and a partner. Stand back to back with your partner, spaced 2-3 feet apart. This will be your starting position.
- Hold the ball in front of the trunk. Open the hips and turn the shoulders at the same time as your partner.
- For full rotation, you and your partner should twist in the same direction, i.e. counter-clockwise.
- Pass the ball to your partner, and both of you can now twist in the opposite direction to repeat the procedure.
