MED BALL FORWARD OVERHEAD TOSS

Forward Overhead Toss is an athletic forward flexion, anterior core movement. Typically, we complement them with a lower body stability exercise making the toss much more functional and multi-purpose.

Med Ball Forward Overhead Toss: Half Kneel to Single Leg

• Here we combine a standing Overhead Toss, from a half kneel to a single leg stance.
• You’ll also focus on separating lower and upper body during rotation
• Begin in a half kneel position, outside leg is forward, approximately 6 ft away and facing the wall. Feet are slightly wider than shoulder width.
• Grap the Medicine ball on either side, fingers pointed away, thumbs up
• Begin with the ball at waist height
• Rotate your shoulders by taking the ball around your inside shoulder and behind your head, keeping your hips stable with belly button facing forward. Try not to arch your back when doing so.
• From a Half Kneel position, with force, toss the ball overhead towards the wall.
• At the same time, stand up to a single leg position finishing with both arms at your sides.
• Pause in this position until the ball rolls to you.
• The challenge isn’t so much the toss, as the ability to brake and stabilize on one leg.
• The MB Toss must be performed with 100% Effort. You cannot toss the MB hard enough
