Exercise Description

The overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam builds explosive core power and burns serious calories. It hits your abs from every angle while working your shoulders.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a medicine ball overhead with both hands. 2. Slam the ball down to your right side in a diagonal motion, following through with your core. 3. Pick up the ball and bring it back overhead, then slam it down to your left side. 4. Continue this overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam pattern, creating a figure-8 motion. 5. Keep your core tight throughout each overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam rep for maximum power.

Form Tips

• Keep your core braced tight throughout the entire overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam movement. • Use your whole body to generate power, not just your arms during each slam. • Follow through completely on each overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam for maximum effect. • Keep your feet planted and pivot from your core to create the figure-8 pattern.

Common Mistakes

• Using only your arms instead of engaging your core during the overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam. • Not following through completely on each slam, reducing the exercise effectiveness. • Rushing through the overhead medicine ball figure 8 slam without controlling the movement pattern.
