  4. As the medicine ball rebounds off the wall, quickly catch it with both hands, absorbing the impact by flexing your knees and engaging your quads. This controlled movement will help prevent any unnecessary strain on your joints.
  5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion throughout. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient with yourself and celebrate each small improvement in your form and quad engagement.
