How to perform Medicine Ball Full Twist
- Stand with the feet about shoulder-width apart and hold a medicine ball in front of the chest with the elbows slightly bent.
- Keep the knees soft and torso upright as you begin turning toward one side.
- Allow the hips and shoulders to turn with the ball, pivoting the opposite foot rather than holding both feet rigidly in place.
- Slow the motion near the end of your controlled turn without leaning back or forcing a twist.
- Reverse smoothly through the center and repeat toward the other side, keeping the ball in your hands throughout.
