How A Medicine Ball Can Help Enhance Your Performance

Want to enhance your workout? You should try a medicine ball. The medicine ball can be aerobic/anaerobic such as tossing the ball back and forth and used to do crunches which are a strength training tool.

Medicine balls are weighted and vary from one pound to 20 pounds. When you lift a medicine ball you engage your abdominal muscles to support your lower back and pelvis. You can also work your glutes with a medicine ball. Strong glutes help give you power for sprinting and running in your sport.

Using a medicine ball can also work your hand and upper body muscles. You can throw the ball to develop arm and upper body speed, strength and balance.
