Duff Elementary physical education teacher Matt Bostick isn’t above props, and he proves that with his latest Workout Wednesday exercise plan.
To start the second six weeks, Bostick wants everyone to get a soccer ball or any other ball and incorporate that into the exercise routine.
In his Soccer Ball Workout, Bostick has four exercises that can be done in around 10 minutes and either add to your fun or pain.
Here’s Workout Wednesday No. 4.
Soccer Ball Workout (as many reps as possible for 8-12 minutes)
- 10 soccer ball side lunges
- 10 soccer ball jump squats overhead
- 30 second wall sit holding the ball in lap or overhead
