How to do it

  1. 1

    Start in a standing position with a staggered, athletic stance. Hold a medicine ball in one hand, on the same side as your back leg. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Begin by winding the arm, raising the medicine ball above your head. As you do so, extend through the hips, knees, and ankles to load up for the slam.

  3. 3

    At peak extension, flex the shoulders, spine, and hips to throw the ball hard into the ground directly in front of you.

  4. 4

    Catch the ball on the bounce and continue for the desired number of repetitions.
