Medicine Ball Overhead Throw

• Bend your knees slightly into a half-squat position, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
• Lift the medicine ball above your head, extending your arms fully but without locking your elbows.
• Use your core and leg muscles to power a throw of the medicine ball straight up into the air.
• Catch the ball as it comes back down and immediately move into the next repetition, ensuring you maintain control and form throughout the exercise.

• Use the Right Weight: Using a medicine ball that's too heavy can lead to injury, while a ball that's too light won't provide enough resistance for an effective workout. Start with a lighter ball, and gradually increase the weight as your strength and technique improve. Always prioritize form over weight.
• Engage Your Core: The Medicine Ball Overhead Throw is a full-body exercise, but the power should come primarily from your core. Make sure to engage your abdominal muscles throughout the exercise. Not engaging the core is a common mistake that can lead to lower back injuries.
