Squat, Press, & Triceps

In my Kinesis and Pilates session with Erin at Pura Vida Club today, one of the moves she had me do is a squat, overhead press, then triceps with a medicine ball.  I know I'm one of those in the gym that wonders what are some great full body exercises to do with a medicine ball and this is a great trifecta exercise.  She had me do 20 reps.  If you don't have a medicine ball at home you can do this with hand weights.

I used a 5 kilograms medicine ball (just slightly over 11 pounds).  I started with it close to chest, did a squat, then pushed ball straight up for the overhead press, then did a triceps bend taking the ball behind my head.



Here's Erin explaining the triple threat move.  Have fun!
