Exercise Description

The wall ball exercise builds explosive power and burns serious calories. It combines a squat with an overhead throw to work your whole body.

How To

1. Stand 2-3 feet from a wall holding a medicine ball at chest level with feet shoulder-width apart 2. Drop into a squat keeping your chest up and the wall ball close to your body 3. Explode up from the squat and throw the wall ball up to hit a target 8-10 feet high on the wall 4. Catch the ball as it bounces back and immediately drop into your next squat 5. Repeat the wall ball movement for your target reps without pausing between throws

Form Tips

• Keep the wall ball close to your chest during the squat to maintain balance and power • Throw the ball up in a straight line, not in an arc forward • Catch with soft hands and absorb the ball's weight with your legs • Stay on the balls of your feet for better wall ball power and control

Common Mistakes

• Standing too close to the wall causes the wall ball to hit you in the face on the way down • Throwing the ball forward instead of straight up wastes energy and makes catching harder • Pausing between catches breaks the rhythm and makes wall ball exercises much harder
