1. Stand shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent holding a medicine ball with a buddy standing in front of you.

2. Hold the medicine ball out in front of your midsection. 

3. As your buddy pushes on the one side of the ball, keep the ball as still as possible and don't move your hips.

4. Engage your core during this move so that your midsection is doing all the work.
