Medicine Ball Workout.....At Home


You don't need a lot of equipment to get a great workout. An awesome tool that you can use to shape your body is a medicine ball. Here are a few of my favorite med ball exercises. (Sorry no Pics Yet)

Med Ball Burpees
: 1. Hold the med ball in both hands 2. squat down and touch it to the ground in front of you 3. Shoot your legs back to assume a push up position 4. Bring your legs back and stand up straight while bringing the med ball above your head.

Med Ball Squats with Rotation
: 1. Hold the med ball in both hands 2. squat down and bring the med ball towards your left knee 3. Stand back up and keeping your arms straight, bring the med ball upwards, as if you were throwing it over your right shoulder. (Allow your body to rotate to involve the core muscles.) 4. Repeat for other side

Med Ball Bridge
: 1. Place both hands on the med ball 2. assume a push up position and hold for at least 1 minute.

Wall Balls: 1. Stand in front of a wall, while holding med ball in both hands 2. Squat low and toss the ball upwards against the wall 3. catch the ball after it rebounds off the wall 4. squat back down and repeat

Med Ball Shoulder Press: 1. Sit on the floor with your legs in front of you 2. Sitting up straight, press the med ball from your chest, above your head.

Med Ball Push Ups
: 1. Place one hand on the med ball and one hand on the floor 2. assume a push up position and begin push ups 3. repeat for other side.
