Plyometric medicine ball exercises create a dynamic and challenging training routine. Plyometrics involves explosive movements that rapidly stretch and contract muscles, aiming to improve power, speed, and athletic performance. Incorporating a medicine ball adds resistance and intensifies the exercises, targeting various muscle groups and enhancing overall strength and coordination.
Let's get started by grabbing your ball and having it close to your chest. Now, face a wall that would be able to take the force of the ball and get yourself as close to it as possible.
This is the starting position.
From here press the ball up in your left hand with as much force as possible.
Then release when your arm is fully extended. Try and aim so when the ball is at its highest point it hits the wall and drops back down. Catch the ball and repeat, This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
You can change the intensity of this exercise by increasing or decreasing the weight of the ball.
