Exercise Profile

Medicine Ball Horizontal Shake Overview

The medicine ball horizontal shake workout is a dynamic exercise that targets the lower back, shoulders, and abs.

By holding the medicine ball with both hands and shaking it horizontally, the lower back muscles are engaged to stabilize the body.

The shoulders are also activated as they work to control the movement of the medicine ball.

Additionally, the abs are strengthened as they contract to maintain balance and support the lower back.
