To figure out what Medicine Balls to Purchase, you need to decide what you are going to do with them.
The Medicine Ball is a great tool for a complete body workout. It can be used to strengthen shoulders, back, arms and legs as well as improving core trunk strength and joint integrity. It also makes an exceptional abdominal exercise tool to create powerful and rock hard abs.
Unlike weight machines that are bolted to the floor and only give a limited and unnatural movement, medicine ball workouts provide weight-resistance through a full range of motion, in any position you find yourself in.
Because Medicine Balls provide an unstable environment in which to train, they prepare you to meet the unique demands of the fitness and sport environments.
By using stability balls in your training program, you can improve performance, reduce the risk of injury, improve balance, and build strength in the abdomen and lower back.
Ways to Train and Condition with Heavy Medicine Balls:
Squatting, Pulling and Pressing: You will need Medicine Balls that are heavy enough to tax you or your clients between 1 rep and 12 reps to Build Strength. Heavy Non-Bouncing Medicine Balls are good for these movements.
Usually 20% to +100% of Body
Weight are good numbers to start with. You should get these Medicine Balls in
20-25 lb. increments.
Throwing Drills: You should begin throwing exercises with lighter Medicine Balls. Often times these balls have an air inflation hole. We generally deflate these balls slightly to slow down the rebound off of the wall. Also, this makes the Medicine Ball softer when receiving a throw. Lighter Bouncing Medicine Balls are good for throws.
Usually 2% and up to +50% of Body Weight are good numbers
to start with. You should get these Medicine Balls in 2-5 lb. increments,
beginning with 2 lb or 4 lb.
Rotational Training: Because rotational training is new to most people, but the forces can be great, you should begin rotational exercises with lighter Medicine Balls.
Usually 2% and up to +40% of Body Weight are good numbers to
start with. You should get these Medicine Balls in 2-5 lb. increments,
beginning with 4 lb or 6 lb.
How to Prevent Injury:
Never lock knees or elbows because it puts too much stress on the joints above and below and can cause injury.
To prevent risk of injury, if you are not physically or mentally ready, do not catch a Medicine Ball when it is thrown to you or when bouncing back to you. Instead, allow the thrown ball to land on the ground or do a semi-bounce before picking it up.
