wall. Rotate your shoulders away from the wall, winding up in preparation for the throw. Then,
reverse direction, turn your shoulders and release the ball as fast as you can.
How to do a chin up: Hold a pull-up bar with your hands hip-distance apart and your palms
facing inwards. Then, taking as much time as you need, pull your body up with your arms and
your lats until your chin is just above the bar, and slowly lengthen your arms back down. You
should aim to bring your elbows into your sides
For speed and agility
Deadlifts and kettlebell swings.

both of your hands in between your legs. Bend your knees slightly and swing the kettlebell back
between your legs, then quickly swing the kettlebell forward up to eye level while keeping your core
tight. It’s important to do the right amount of force so you don’t overwork your arms.
