Medicine Ball Sit-Up (Wall)
The medicine ball sit-up facing a wall: throw the ball against it at the top, catch it and roll back down with it overhead.
How to do it
Setup
Seated facing a wall a short throw away, knees bent, feet flat, the ball held overhead.
Steps
- Roll back until the ball is overhead, then sit up with it.
- At the top, throw the ball at the wall and catch it on the rebound.
- Take it overhead and roll back down for the next rep.
Common mistakes
Throwing from a lying position: sit up first, then throw. Feet lifting as you sit up: plant them or tuck them under a support. Missing the catch near the face: aim at chest height on the wall and keep the hands ready.
