Core Rotation With Medicine Ball Press
1 of 9
Equipment: 6-pound medicine ball
Targets: legs, core and shoulders Stand with your feet turned slightly outward in a wide stance. Hold the medicine ball to your chest. Squat and rotate to the right as you lift the medicine ball diagonally overhead—it will wind up over your right shoulder. Allow your left foot and hip to rotate. Make sure to tighten your abdominal muscles and glutes. Exhale on your rotation. Return to starting position and repeat to the left side. Continue to alternate sides. Do 12 to 15 reps. Need a modification? "Do it without the med ball," says Rocky Ribacoff, Equinox Group Fitness Director, who designed this workout. "Just reach your arms up" until you're strong enough to incorporate the equipment.
