How to do it
- This exercise is best done with a partner. If you lack a partner, the ball can be thrown and retrieved or thrown against a wall.
- Begin standing a few meters in front of your partner, both facing the same direction. Begin holding the ball between your legs.
- Squat down and then forcefully reverse direction, coming to full extension and you toss the ball over your head to your partner.
- Your partner can then roll the ball back to you. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
