Medicine Ball Power Exercise Variaitons

The following medicine ball exercises replicate movements in numerous sporting events that require powerful, explosive movements such as mixed martial arts (defending on ground, driving legs/pushing and pulling opponent), rugby league (tackling, defending), golf and tennis (swinging club or racket) and netball (passing and positioning). The main focus of these videos is the continuation of momentum (note 'ripple effect' of the body shown throughout the exercises) in order to achieve a set movement goal. There are countless options in terms of alternatives, let us know of further exercises you come up with for your sport.




Alternatives include: Squat throws, squat rotational throws, squat backwards overhead throw, lunge push pass, lunge rotational pass against wall/partner. Any balance, catch, unilateral and bilateral variation exercises of the upper and or lower body are available to you - the range of exercises is only limited by your imagination!
