We have to thank our friends over at Dynamax Medicine Balls for the illustrations from the last 4 workouts and a few more prior. The thigh drive is a very interesting exercise. We try to achieve a position similar to sprinting following the sticking of the ball. That would entail extension through the spine and the striking knee up parallel to the ground in the finish position. Additionally, one's center is driving forward; out of balance but in control leading to a smooth and rhythmic transition of pace. It is also possible to move the arms in opposition to the legs to even more closely represent the position of sprinting. Craig, Bruce, Robert & Paul represented well today.
