•The medicine ball squat throw is a total-body workout that primarily targets the
quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, and triceps. A medicine ball is widely used to
develop core strength, which involves strengthening the muscles in your belly and back.
Through optimal alignment, this aids in balance, posture, and overall wellness.
•Medicine balls are an excellent tool for developing both upper- and lower-body
strength. Throwing the weight helps you to produce the most force and velocity in the
movement. Medicine balls can also help with more complex rotating movements.
•The only thing you actually need for medicine ball squat throws is a medicine ball.
Procedure:
Step 1: Grab a medicine ball and stand with feet about hip-width apart and toes pointed
outward slightly.
Step 2: Position your hands under the ball so that you are holding the ball at chest/neck level.
This is the starting position.
Step 3: Begin exercise by squatting down so that your thighs are parallel with the ground and
knees do not pass your toes.
Step 4: Come up out of the squat and push the medicine ball overhead so that the ball leaves
your hands.
Step 5: Catch the ball and drop down into the next squat. Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Improved Balance
This exercise improves your body balance and control in an effective way. It also improves your Hand-
Eye coordination.
Firm Grip
When you perform medicine ball squat throws on a daily basis, your grip develops significantly
and gets stronger and firmer.
It is also great for developing your glutes and thigh muscles, as well as
your chest and arms, and the quick movement will also get your heart
and lungs working, giving you a great cardio workout.
