Ball Slams are a great exercise to work your whole body and improve your power and endurance. Here is a short guide on how to do them:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a medicine ball in front of you with both hands.
- Raise the ball overhead and extend your arms and legs fully.
- Slam the ball down to the ground as hard as you can, bending your knees and hips slightly to absorb the impact.
- Catch the ball as it bounces up and repeat the movement for the desired number of reps or time.
