Overview

The Lateral Medicine Ball Slam is a great whole body exercise that will challenge some often neglected muscles, like the obliques. This exercise replicates the movement of swinging a sledgehammer or an axe, two forms of tough physical work. It is best to do this exercise with a ball that does not bounce.

Description

• Raise the medicine ball above your head.
• Slam the ball outside your left foot.
• Squat down and catch the ball.
• Raise the medicine ball above your head and repeat to the right.

Mistakes

• Bending over rather than squatting down to retrieve the medicine ball.
