Start from a standing position with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart and knees slightly relaxed, holding medicine ball with both hands and arms straight at just above head height. |
|
Powerfully accelerate the medicine ball across the body while squatting in a "Wood Chop" motion high to low(right to left or left to right) while maintaining solid core, tall chest, hips back and keeping knees from sliding forward past toes. |
|
In a continuous motion, decelerate the medicine ball just outside the knee and return to start position in a smooth controlled motion. Repeat for prescribed number of repetitions in a continuous fashion. |
