| Starting Position
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed forward. Hold medicine ball out in front of your body, slightly above your chest, with arms straight. Do not lock your elbows.
Action
INHALE: Lower your body, bending at the hips, keeping your weight back on your heels. Keep your back as upright as possible. Make sure your knees don't cross your toes. Don't go past 90 degrees at your knees. EXHALE: Slowly push up to the starting position.
Special Instructions
You can progress by raising the weight of the medicine ball. If you do not have a medicine ball you can also hold a compact object of similar weight (2-10 lbs depending on strength) out in front of you.
Muscles Worked: Quads, Glutes, Shoulders
Time Involved: 4 minutes
Body Benefit: Holding a medicine ball adds resistance, but also trains your shoulders.
Tip: If you do not have a medicine ball, try using a swiss exercise ball or your kids kick ball. _________________ Thea MoletteThis is an incredible, all-natural liquid supplement containing nearly every daily nutrient required for robust health -- all in a single, concentrated, easy-to-swallow, delicious, peach-flavored, one-ounce dose.
