Metabolic Medicine Ball Workout
Medicine Balls (Med Ball) are great way to change up your workout, while helping you to burn fat and build muscle using bodyweight movements.
Medicine Balls have transformed from what you use to see in boxing gyms back in the day. The heavy leather balls you would see trainers use to pound the boxer’s midsection in an attempt to harden them up.
Now they are covered in different materials, a little more bouncy and versatile tool for you to use,
The Medicine Ball can be used to develop stabilizer muscles, which will help you build muscle faster, they can add a load to a compound exercises to increase strength and of course it is still highly effective for strengthen your abdominis rectus, obliques and core muscles.
Next time you are in the gym grab the medicine balls off the stand and try this metabolic circuit.
