    Forcefully slam the ball to the floor in front of you as hard as you can. Catch the ball on the rebound or pick the ball up and return to starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Stand with your feet at least shoulder width apart so that you can follow through after the slam.
  • Be aware of the ball if it bounces and do not allow it to bounce up and hit you in the face.
  • Use your abs to slam the ball. Try to mimic a crunching movement with your core as you slam the ball to the floor.
