3 days until Thanksgiving, ya'll! One of the most fun pieces of fitness equipment is the medicine ball. These are rubber balls with sand inside. You can throw them, bounce them, and toss them to mimic the more dynamic activities of your life. Though you can do many things that I will articulate as the days go on, here's one:
2. Get some force going by standing up a little, extending your knees, hips, and back. Lift the arms up and flex so that elbows are bent.
3. Throw down the medicine ball with all your might by flexing your trunk and extending your arms. Make sure to catch it and not let it hit you in the face.
4. Repeat. The power comes from your legs on the up phase and your arms and back to throw the ball.
In case you were wondering, this exercise works your quads, hamstrings, erector spinae, anterior deltoids, pec major, lattissimus dorsi, teres major, triceps, and brachioradialis. Wow!
In health,
Lauren
