  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a medicine ball in front of you with both hands.
  2. Raise the ball overhead and extend your arms and legs fully.
  3. Slam the ball down to the ground as hard as you can, bending your knees and hips slightly to absorb the impact.
  4. Catch the ball as it bounces up and repeat the movement for the desired number of reps or time.
