Beginners can first heel to the ground, to be more muscular, heel off the ground. Hold the medicine ball, look straight ahead, rotate your body and point the medicine ball left and right.

Hard on one foot
Start in a standing position, knees slightly bent, holding the medicine ball in front of your chest. Lift your right foot back and lean straight forward, leaving your left foot standing and your torso and right foot in a straight line. Then hold the ball with both hands and let it hit the ground. Stop for about 5 seconds before returning to the start. (Recommended side can do 10-15, then change feet.)
