Fitness Friday: Workouts for Painters. Fitness From Home!

What happens here

The third main exercise is Wall Balls, which utilizes a medicine ball and a target. The speaker demonstrates holding a 20-pound medicine ball in a squat rack that doubles as a regulation target for CrossFit workouts. The movement involves squatting down with the medicine ball held at chest height and then explosively standing up, throwing the ball against a target above head height, catching it as it descends, and immediately going back into the next squat. He emphasizes the full-body nature of the exercise, akin to thrusters and Devil's presses, working legs, core, and upper body.

Goal: Perform wall balls to engage the full body through a squat and overhead throw.
