Weighted medicine balls have become a popular fitness item seen in gyms all over. These colorful balls are usually made of rubber and come in weights from just a few pounds to as heavy as 30 pounds. Depending on the exercise you're doing, these balls can be used for a variety of fitness activities.
One of the most popular exercises for working the core is to stand sideways to a wall and, using a twisting motion, throw the medicine ball against the wall so it bounces back for you to catch.
Another I've seen people do in the gym is to simply hold the ball against the chest while performing sit-ups or crunches. This is a great way to add intensity to any ab workout. If you want to go hardcore, you can take a lighter weight medicine ball, grip it between your legs around knee level, and perform leg raises. Talk about a burn!
Many fitness companies make weighted medicine balls. CAP Fitness Equipment medicine balls have a great reputation. They make a full line of rubber medicine balls, and even the racks to put them on. You can even by CAP medicine balls right from Amazon.
