In a recent Instagram post, the actor shared a series of pictures of him doing standing rotational side throws to give his core a functional boost. However, there's more to this move than simply hurling a ball across your body and into a wall.

Your glutes and legs get involved too, helping drive force from the ground up, while the shoulders…...
