Medicine balls are definitely worth a go. I would recommend them to anyone. Using them for core strength and stability is ideal.

Just a quick one here. I am a big fan of asymmetrical work out. Ever since I slung a bag of 20lb dog food over my shoulder and noticed how different and heavier it felt from a 20lb dumb bell, I have been looking for other “weird” work-outs.

Here’s one:

Medicine ball lunge.

Hold the ball over your head from the neutral stance.

As you step hammer the ball down in a wide arc. Hard enough to make it bounce.

As you step back to neutral position try to time it to where you catch the ball coming down from the bounce.

Pull the ball back over your head and repeat from the top.

Do this about five time per leg and have your cardiologist’s number nearby

An alternative, but much simpler way, is to hold a barbell or dumb bell.

You can take two bags of flour and duct tape the bejesus out of them for a makeshift med ball. Not aesthetically pleasing but great for a medicine ball on the cheap…
