Rotate your torso to the right side while raising your left heel off the ground and rotating on the ball of your foot as you turn.

Place your heels about two feet away from your butt, driving them on.
In the case of movements where you hold a medicine ball in front of your torso, like cleans, punches, squats, wall balls, or lateral lunges, the postural muscles of the upper back will also get a sneakily hard workout just from keeping you upright while in a range of positions.This killer 8 minute workout takes you through four different med ball ab exercises.

You’ll do this by slightly bending your knees and driving your hips back. Your hands and arms would usually be at your side, but since you’re holding the medicine ball, they’ll be in front of you for this exercise.Medicine balls are most commonly used for something called ballistic training, which is a form of strength and power exercise.

Grasp the medicine ball in both hands, holding it close to your body. Press the ball straight up overhead.

It bounces so you could use it for exercises like the squat, dribble and toss.; The 6 lb Spri Xerball Medicine Ball is a huge favorite of mine because it, too, is very high quality and it has a great bounce.; The 8 lb ZoN Soft Medicine Ball is great because it’s soft, so it doesn’t bounce.

coach please help me how can i learn how to finish up and under layup because im not athletic enough to do it
I want to know how to regress and progress these exercises? please answer me, I have rehab exam soon and the worst thing to do is regression and progression.
Dynamax 14 lb ball. Weight of the ball is visable at 7:09 point of video, when ball is resting on feet.
0:23 practicing some Twerking Here Aye!!
Well yeah who doesn’t want to be a part of “Twerking Competition” when you have a medicine ball.
The red ball looks about two inches short for Bob cause his knees are a bit high.
I shoot a basketball into the air where like it just goes straight up and then down to practice my shooting at home I was wondering if it will help if I use a med ball than a regular basketball will this increase my strength for shooting?
Nice choice of music, and these look like fun drills to do, I can only imagine the amount of sweat drawing out of my body post workout.
Omg. U guys are to cool. And funny. Going to try these techniques today.
300,000 subscribers that’s quite an accomplishment. Congrats
Im only a 12 year old kid. Can lifting medicine balls that are about 4kgs stunt my growth?
Thanks for the videos, and especially thanks for consistently pointing out to not do it if it hurts and to listen/customize to what your body’s telling you.
Take care!
Good drills but I’m curious on what specifically is this making you better at
I love how the drills also teach and reinforce being strong and aggressive with the ball. so important for the younger developing players. keep the awesome videos coming.
Bob& Brad, please consider putting the GoFundMe me link for Liz in your new video descriptions. We can get that $$$ much higher. So far I believe it is only in that one video where you 1st mention it. Thanks for everything guys.
Really important to get the right size!! I can barely go in opposite direction but practice helps.
Wow, highly superior collection of drills. Perfect for the sport of basketball. I love also how he does some supercompensation (same movement without the MB) immediately after sometimes.
True pros.
Heyy! I really like stronger team and the advice and workouts you guys send out of how to improve basketball athleticism. Just wondering how i can implement these drills in my workout regimen, in terms of sets and reps. I’m really working hard to improve my over game, skill, quickness, vertical, strength, everything.
Great looking exercises Coach! Even for us 35 year old guys who still want to play ball, your exercises have extended our fake basketball careers:)
My grandma had this pain then it passed to my mom when she was young and now I have it I’ma kid
But this helped a lil thanks!!
No, proper age-appropriate strength training does not ‘stunt growth’…
Oh cool! A pretty trainer with a sweet voice… like honey ������
Hi��
Earlier I commented about chin tucks hurting. I tried today right after I woke up, in bed, with a pillow! Did not hurt! Yeah!
My question, is this the same exercise working the same muscles? And will I improve to being able to not use the pillow?
Thank you so much for your inspiration! You have no idea the good you are doing. Kisses ��
this has been bothering me alot, does weight lifting stunt growth?
Amazing video & I love how the beats are always special & great!
Not sure, sorry. We get all of our beats from a DJ overseas…
Love you guys personality and chemistry on camera. Plus your advice has my back feeling much better!
Would it be good for a stroke victim for the right hand hopefully & eventually be able to use for the left hand therapy?
Hey guys im a 5’6 going into my senior year of high school,my coach wants me to be more of an defensive player cause of my lateral quickness, is there any good drills to help get and keep me in a good defensive shape? I wanna to be the best defensive player in my school. P.S. Any really good ball handling drills?
Just bought my first ball and looked on youtube to learn how to use it. I found ya’ll!!!! Thank you for not being boring! You had me laughing through my workout. Keep being you! I sent this out to a dozen folks: )
Great stuff y’all. I’m about to use some of these in my training today! Great sport-specific motions!
if it wasn’t for the loud music, this vidéo would have been perfect!!! nice workout tho!
HI, great exercises!! Can I ask what is the weight of the medicine ball you are working with?
Thanks for your feedback, that is great to hear. Just do the upper body portion of the strength/power PDF…
I have a question please.. I saw one of your videos before and you showed how not to do some forms of sit-ups, I do sit-ups from supine position with legs straight (only bent very little) with my physical therapist (without restricting the legs) and I only sit upright till becoming 90 degrees not all the way to touch the toes.. so can this still hurt the spine or may cause any harm to it? I also do bridging. So is it OK to do that form of sit-up since I do bridging and strengthening the back as well? [when I do sit-ups I try to not use momentum and not pull on my neck and try to keep my feet fixed on my own with the bed since I do it on a bed not the floor]
I used one dumbell and a light ball for the floor slides. This was great. Sweating like crazy.
Is there an alternative to the slams? I don’t want to upset the people that live in the flat below:)
Idk if anyone ever mentioned athlean-x as another physical therapist on the internet. Not to demean your guys channel but he just has a larger following. However he does have a wider variety content so idk if he’d count lol.
I’ve done this workout twice now and really enjoy it! Love Ariel’s energy and coaching through all the moves.:)
Thanks for your help. What can one do for a low back pain? Thanks
was almost convinced it wasn’t green screen. this video was ahead of its time.nice work
I’m going to try this. I have carpel tunnel n arthritis. Learning guitar has been a super hard challenge.
This was a great workout! Love all the moves that combined upper and lower body to make the most of 30 minutes.
Is a picture of Buddah on the baoding balls rare or something? cause i have searched everywhere and I seem to the only person with them.
I think we are too closed minded. Science has proven healing frequencies I think. Plants grow healthier when spoken to in a positive tone, crystals grow better with music, etc.
Western cultures know too little about the body other than what western medicine teaches. I would not be so dismissive about cultures that are thousands of years old. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the video.
Hey, I’m new here but this looks great. Definite ��. Keep it up man!
I have five sets of differing sizes. I can’t go to sleep with out them.:) I like the glass/stone ones (large marbles) that don’t ring. They are NOT like fidget spinners at all. The trick is to breathe, relax the hand, and allow them to move freely without allowing them to ‘clack’. Certainly do not drop them onto any hard surface. I keep mine under my pillow yup, all five sets, and i can find the ones i want just by feel!:)
I like this video. I just got an exercise ball yesterday and I looked up exercises I could do on it. This video is perfect for my lower back. We were on a stay at home order for 3 months. I got lazy and just sat around and watched my tv apps and played games most of the time. My lower back hurt so much I couldn’t hardly do anything. So I did a few of these exercises yesterday. Just the easy ones. I did some again today. My lower back feels much better already. So I’m going to keep doing the easy exercises every morning. I’ll try the harder exercises in a couple months. Thank you for this video.
No, the gentleman who films, edits and directs these videos uploads them for me. I simply mastermind the content along with Blair and Matt!
Hi guys. Can you recommend some exercises stretching for pregnant women. Thanks (:
I think haveing two brains working, “different ideas is perfect”.
I think your work is awesome. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.
In 2020 in these times when going outside is a no no your work realy stands out. Hope you and yours get through the Coronavirus happy and healthy. All the best from Australia.
somehow i think i remember you from one of my workout dvds! thanks so much ��
Coach, I entered me email for the free vertical jump workout but I did not receive any email with the workout. Is it possible for you to send it to me, as I have had these issues in the past. (I already read the daily newsletters and am a spring type jumper
As a viewer I can say: I’am seriously also a real Fan of the two B’s.
Your excercises are good but your presentation is to usually, I don’t know who to follow, both are doing excercises at the same time, anyway thanks!
I don’t t think you guys babble, I enjoy listening to what you have to say.keep up the great work boys!
These worked for me. I had two ‘trigger thumbs.’ I used these several times a day for a couple weeks or so, and did not have to have surgery! Two things: the first few days, my forearms got very sore. And 2: how do you measure what mm to get? I don’t ‘speak’ mm. My first pair was bought at a festival, because they were beautiful. I didn’t actually use them until my trigger thumbs appeared about 10 years later.
Thank you both so much for your very helpful and well-explained videos!
A little advice for the athletic crossover stance you should place you hands on the ball like you would getting ready to take a shot so this can make you a triple threat situation and for people that don’t know what this means triple threat means you can take a jump shot dribble or pass
I had a problem on layups.when the defender tries to knock me I try the hand rotation layup then finish at the rim.should the 5kg ball is suitable for the hand rotation drill?
great stuff man, could definitely use some of this stuff for exercising
I’m 5 weeks post-op for my 2nd laminectomy discectomy, what exercises do you recommend?
A new use for those ben-wa balls that have never had their proper use.
Confirmed: They have 2 of the 7 Dragon Balls. What will they wish for?
I just subscribed your channel..wow!!and today I bought a Swiss ball..such a wonderful coincidence..
are these exercises good for those with foraminal stenosis?
great video:)
my gym is surrounded with mirrors and the roof is not high.is this workout as effective as tossing the med ball?
your comments about ball height are very interesting, but run against all the advice I am getting from other experts. Who claim that the hips should be slightly higher than the knees with both feet flat on the ground.
this isn’t just for fitness, but for everything. basketball channels always provide excercises and content, but they don’t provide schedules for those excercises. For an unexperienced person with time management like me, I watch all these videos but do not know what to do with them.
I personally love this channel and everything it provides but I’d love to know which excercises are daily, biweekly, or bimonthly in order to maximize the efficiency of my overall (b-ball & fitness) training.
Maybe you guys could consider this comment as a suggestion? I’ve rambled on long enough, but case and point: I really need help with 1. training & 2. Time management for that training, maybe this is something you could include in your videos?
Is this also ideal for those who have ruptured and or herniated disks in lower back?

It’s the 2nd time I am doing this exercise with ab 11lb medicine ball and I feel the difference! Can you please do more complete med ball workouts??? Please ����
I suggest that for every workout, put number of reps and sets.
Can I put the medicine ball down in-between exercises??? I don’t want to cheat myself. I’m using a 16lbs. Ball. Enjoyed getting geaaasy with u.������
coach how can i improve my shooting skills? because im really bad at it
just joking man, great exercises, ill be sure to incorporate them
Just want to say I love you guys. I had a torn disc in my lower back 2 years ago and that’s when I found you. 2 years later, my back still hurts and now the knee starts as well, but your exercises help and your videos put a smile on my face. A big thank you to you.
I’m 69 years old and have been using some simular to the ones you have…mine are made if brass an anti microbial/ bacterial metal…one is 2lbs the second is 2 1/8 lbs… I started to use the name and 1980 and they do relax, help with your sleep, strengthens your fingers to your shoulders…
This is a slam ball? You can’t bounce a medicine ball they are hard solid?
Keep up the great work this really help my lower back thank you guys
Thank you so much! I really need this exercise for my back! you two are amazing and so funny:D I love watching all your videos. ]
I wish when I was younger I had your videos to help me improve. In my mid-30’s now, but I’ve incorporated some of your videos just to maintain fit and play as long as I can. For the love of the game.

Oh heck yeah. Thanks Bob and Brad! I recently started dating a nice girl and on an unrelated note my fingers have been overworked and killing me. This video really helps, thanks again.
do you recommend a certain number of sets or reps for each drill?
Also good for those who want to practice prestidigitation, aka sleight of hand or magic.
Hi Docs, I had back surgery and I used the ball and I loved it. I still use it for all exercises. And also for my shoulder surgery ( replaced) and used the ball. Thanks.
Y’all are too precious, and having entirely too much fun!!:D
Yay! You got your 300k subscribers, congratulations �� �� ��
How long should one wait to start this type of exercise after back surgery with spinal fusion? Four & half weeks since surgery. Joi
Congratulations on 300k Subscribers Bob and Brad Bravo! We are all so lucky to have your expertise and you deserve many more.
Thanks Bob and Brad’s introduction to our Baoding balls. This ball is indeed a great ball, can be as an exercise tool. Sure, pls notice its quality, some of are indeed not good enough. Baoding balls can be chiming ball and solid ball,size from 25mm,30mm,35mm,40mm,45mm,50mm, to 55mm.
Thanks for all the help with the videos. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge for the rest of us.
Quick Question. I have one workout left on the 12 week strength and power pdf. Next week I start the jump manual. The jump manual’s mostly lower body workouts so I need a new program to work my upper body. The problem’s that you’re not supposed to do other strenuous running activities while on the jump manual. Which program works the most on upperbody? The 8 week pre season strength and conditioning pdf or the 8 week bodyweight pdf. Thanks and I’ve gotten a ton stronger with your offseason pdf.
zThanks from Turkey, Bodrum. We appreciate your help and want to thank you four you efforts to educate ua. Love from inci Lakay
Have been using stability balls for more than 25 years. Am a fitness specialist. Thanks Size makes a huge difference. 55c for folks up to 5 ft 4 depending upon body structure good one!
Use Chinese metal balls at work or in other situations with some stress when the cigarette is calling.
Thank you for the advice against using the ball while working at a desk I have a ball coming in the mail and I was thinking of using it at the laptop.
B&B, i am only 42 and am starting to get slight shakes in my left hand. I dont want to be 60 and shaking all over the place. What exercises can i do to help prevent the shakes?
Love you guys. Very Informative and always make me laugh. Keep doing what your doing. I have learned alot. I have knee and lower back pain. Can’t wait to try these when my back gets better. God bless

You guys are great,.. I just subscribed. I have a 75 cm Fitness Gear Ball.. and working out to your exercises:)
Any moves we could use to replace the slams that don’t make so much noise or shake my whole house?
Hey, Coach. Do you have any strength and conditioning workouts for basketball players? I have dumbbells, resistance bands, and a pull up bar at my disposal. I need to know what kinda lifts to emphasize and what type of training to do.
I’m a Student Physical Therapist Assistant, and I love watching your videos. You guys really embody creativity and fun, and I really hope to be a great therapist like you two one day! Mahalo from Hawai’i!
Love your vids mate! Keep em coming!:D (Good job on developing Victor! He is my fav player of this years draft )
An expert can roll the balls without the chimes making noise.
3:42 that squat position is a big no-no for your knees and hip’s health. Care with your sumo squats if you don’t want to injury yourself with them.
I loved your workout and I think your arms and abs look great!!!
great workout.
Could you add some workouts to trim midseciton using the same med ball?
