Medicine Ball Woodchop

Step 1

Holding a medicine ball with both hands directly in front of your chest, plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. While maintaining a slight bend in your knees, extend your arms and twist your torso to hold the medicine ball slightly above your left knee. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Exhale. Using your obliques, pivot your feet, turn your hips and torso to move the medicine ball across your body up to eye level on your right-hand side, ensuring that your arms remain straight.

Step 3

Inhale. Using your obliques, turn your hips and torso to move the medicine ball across your body and back to the starting position, once again, ensuring that your arms remain straight. Complete half of the specified number of repetitions on the same side before completing the remaining repetitions on the other side.
