Core Corner: Kneeling Overhead Toss and Catch

This versatile exercise can be done with a partner or solo, at home or in the gym.

• Kneel on an unstable surface. You can use a folded blanket, foam pads or devices such as balance discs, core board or bosu. Bring your pelvis forward so that your hips center over your knees.
• Bend your knees so that your feet are lifted off the floor.
• Have a partner toss you a ball at overhead height, which you catch and toss back, keeping the arms fully extended overhead at all times.

You can use a basketball, soccer ball, stability ball or weighted medicine balls. To perform the exercise solo, just bounce the ball off of a wall. For an advanced solo workout, toss and catch a medicine ball using a rebounder.
