1. Stand with knees bent, abs tight, buttocks out, and shoulders back. Hold the ball with hands on either side in front of your face.
2. Squeeze your hands towards each other as you press the ball over your head. Avoid locking your elbows. At the same time, bring one leg back and bend the front knee. All of your weight should be focused in the heel of your front foot and your knee should stay over your ankle.
3. Slowly lower ball to starting position as you bring your back foot in.

Helpful Hints:
