How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart holding a medicine ball in both hands. To begin, reach the medicine ball deep behind your head as you bend the knees slightly and lean back.
- Violently throw the ball forward, flexing at the hip and using your whole body to complete the movement.
- The medicine ball can be thrown to a partner or to a wall, receiving it as it bounces back.
