Do you ever say to yourself, I just don't have time to exercise?

Spartans, welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Way Podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Avenesh. Now, those of you that are listening, you want to try to visualize

and hopefully come back and check out the video where I demonstrate these three favorite exercises that I love to use. Now here we've got

what's called a Spartan sandball. It looks like a large basketball but it's filled with

sand. But if you're training maybe outdoors and you're in more of a rural area you could use a

stone or if you're in a apartment you could take a book bag and fill it up with old books.

So I'm going to demonstrate my first exercise

with the sandball, and it's called shouldering.

So for those of you listening,

just try to visualize that this is what you'll be doing. I stand over the

ball or the object with my feet a little wider than shoulder width. I'm gonna

squat down with a flat back and I'm just gonna pull the ball up to my shoulder. Flat back,

chest tall, pull it up to the shoulder, catch it on your shoulder, and then go down

under control. If you're outdoors you could pull the ball or the sandbag

over your shoulder and let it just fall onto the ground. Then we alternate to the

other shoulder. Flat back, chest tall, pull it up, hold it for a one count, put it down

with a flat back. I want to demonstrate from the side so you can see what the back looks like.

This is the correct position.

This would be the wrong dangerous position.

So if you're listening, your hips shouldn't be up in the air.

You should have your butt down and your chest tall and you want to keep the ball or the object close to your chest when you pick it up.
