How to perform

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.
