Step by Step Description

Step 1: Stand facing a wall. Have the wall about 3 to 5 feet away from your body. Put your feet slightly closer than shoulder width apart. Keep your back straight, chest pressed out, and your shoulders pulled back while holding your core tight.

Step 2: Grab a medicine ball and place the palms of your hands on its sides towards the bottom of the ball. Hold the ball at chest height.

Step 3: Lower your body by pushing your hips backward while bending at the knees. Keep lowering your body until your knees come in line with the crease of your hip.

Step 4: Once you have reached the bottom position of the squat immediately reverse direction by driving through your heels. Create as much momentum as you possibly can and use it to help drive the medicine ball up throwing it at the target you picked on the wall.

Step 5: As the ball bounces off the wall get your hands ready to catch it. The second the ball touches your hands immediately begin descending into the next squat and repeat.
