STRENGTH IN KNOWLEDGE

WALL BALL BASIC EXERCISES:

The medicine ball is an excellent tool to help you develop strength, coordination, balance, power and core stability. The ball can help individuals of all fitness levels train multiple muscles at once. The movements often combine balance and strength and utilize a wide variety of muscle groups. Below is a list of throw exercise to be completed with a medicine ball.

Exercise #1: Wall Throw

Stand facing a wall with feet shoulder-width apart. Raise arms overhead, clasp hands behind the head holding a medicine ball. The wall should be approximately 4 to 5 feet away from your body. Take a step forward with one of your feet and bring your arms up and over your head. Extend your arms out in front of your head towards the wall as you throw the ball. Release the ball towards the wall when elbows are almost straight. Aim to have the ball hit the wall 1 to 2 feet above the bottom of the wall.

Exercise #2: Side Throw

Stand with the wall to your right side, with feet hip-width apart. You should be holding a medicine ball with both hands on the hip of the leg opposite the wall. Shift your weight to the leg with the ball on the hip. Rotate your entire body 90 degrees as you release the ball from hip level towards the wall. As you rotate your body, you will want to shift your weight into the leg closest to the wall. Catch the ball as it bounces back towards you.

Exercise #3: Hammer Throw

Stand with the wall to your right side, with feet hip-width apart. Hold the ball positioned on the hip opposite the wall. Have the majority of your weight also in the leg opposite the wall. Shift your body weight into the leg closest to the wall and twist your torso as you release the ball at shoulder height on the wall side of your body. The motion of this exercise will have the ball beginning at your hip, crossing your torso and then exiting at shoulder level. Unlike the side throw, you will not rotate your entire body for this exercise.

Exercise #4: Slam

To complete this forceful throw, begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart with a medicine ball held over your head with both hands. Jump up and bring your arms down the front of your body towards your hips. Release the ball once your arms are almost completely lowered, throwing it down onto the floor directly between your feet. Catch the ball as it bounces up towards you.

Exercise #5: Squat Throw

Start with body in a squat position, feet shoulder-width apart and holding a medicine ball with both hands at your chest. Quickly jump straight up and stretch your arms up over your head. Release the ball, throwing it upwards, once your arms are extended straight over your head. Catch the ball as it comes back down towards you.

Rip Training
Originally created to meet the needs of combat sport athletes and physical therapists, Rip Training variable resistance exercise is a multi-faceted approach to strength and cardiovascular conditioning that challenges you in all three planes of motion every rep, every set, every workout. Equally adept as a rehab tool, a strength and conditioning tool, and a regenerative tool, the Rip Trainer is an exceptionally versatile tool for elite athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and beginners alike.

What is Rip Training?
Rip Training utilizes a lever bar and resistance cord to provide a unique mix of rotation, core stability, control, power, strength, mobility, metabolic conditioning, balance and coordination challenges. TRX has developed a wide assortment of unique, leverage-variable resistance exercise movements, coaching cues, and programming and educational principles using the Rip Trainer, the collection of which comprises Rip Training.

The Rip Trainer allows users to engage in unlimited movements which, when performed properly, enhance fluidity and range of motion and decrease the risk of injury. Whether used for high speed striking movements or slow speed strength and stability exercises, the Rip Trainer is the perfect training tool for elite level athletes, fitness enthusiasts and even people wanting to exercise for the first time.

Life and sport require that we be able to both control and produce rotational force. Rip Training utilizes the same asymmetrical loading we encounter every day. Whether you’re carrying groceries, picking up your child, throwing a ball, or performing athletic movements such as swimming, running, and biking, your body is always producing rotation or controlling externally-induced rotation.

Rip Training provides a simple, effective method to integrate rotational movements into training with the ability to layer on complexity to suit your goals.

Rip Training is also an effective solution for developing and challenging mobility and stability throughout the body.

Rip Training utilizes elastic resistance that allows for high-speed, low-load rotational movement training or low-speed, high-load rotational movement training.
