Wall balls are deceptively fun – and trust me, they’re as enjoyable as they look. Gone are my days of barbell thrusters and goblet squats-to-press. Instead, I found a way to work the same muscle groups and master similar movement patterns: squatting while cradling a medicine ball, launching it high into the air, catching it on the way down, and repeating.
When performed correctly, wall balls are a standout, full-body compound exercise. Though they were once a niche movement in traditional gyms, the rise and acceptance of functional fitness has made them a mainstream staple.
