How to perform

  1. 1

    This exercise is best done with a partner. If you lack a partner, the ball can be thrown and retrieved or thrown against a wall.

  2. 2

    Begin standing a few meters in front of your partner, both facing the same direction. Begin holding the ball between your legs.

  3. 3

    Squat down and then forcefully reverse direction, coming to full extension and you toss the ball over your head to your partner.

  4. 4

    Your partner can then roll the ball back to you. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
