										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is a medicine ball?</h2>
<p>Medicine balls are spherical, weighted balls with a history dating back thousands of years. They are a staple in the gym, although sometimes overlooked by other equipment, such as barbells, kettlebells, and machines.</p>
<p>Not all medicine balls are created equal. Launched in 1985, Dynamax was the first soft-shelled ball to enable explosive training without risk of damaging a training partner or property—previous medicine and fitness balls were all much harder and didn’t maintain their shape. As well as being comfortable and safe to use, the Dynamax design also keeps shoulders in a safer position, as they’re specifically designed to match the average adult shoulder width. Being slightly bigger, they were also easier to catch, so coaches, athletes, and training partners could train together more effectively.</p>
<h2>Why do they call it a medicine ball?</h2>
<p>Medicine evokes images of pills or syrups to recover from sickness, so if you’re wondering why this fitness equipment is called a medicine ball, you’re not the only one. To get the answer we’re looking for, we need to step back in time to Ancient Greece. It’s believed Hippocrates used sand-filled pouches made from animal skins to support recovery from injury.</p>
<p>Considered the founder of modern medicine, due to his extensive books on diseases and treatments, these weighted skins prescribed for rehabilitative purposes eventually evolved into the ‘medicine’ ball of today. That, and the fact that exercising with a medicine ball carries many physical health benefits, makes this name pretty apt.</p>
<h2>Why use a medicine ball?</h2>
<p>Medicine balls are not only an essential training tool for athletes and coaches but also a great option for youth and active ageing.</p>
<p>Staple strength training tools, including kettlebells, barbells, dumbbells, and cable machines, are great for strength training but can’t maximize skills like speed and power like medicine balls can. Medicine balls offer the whole package. Agility, balance, core strength, speed, power, and training fast-twitch muscles are all physical benefits of medicine ball exercises. In fact, the medicine ball opens up training potential that may be tricky to fulfil with other fitness equipment.</p>
<p>With plenty of standing, sitting, solo, and locomotion-based partner exercises, they can spice up your training and complement competitive sports activities.</p>
<p>Being portable and suitable for outdoor use makes them an accessible tool for training in pairs and small or large groups. Easy to set up for a boot camp workout, and portable so you&#8217;re not limited to a location—wherever you prefer to train is fair game.</p>
<h2>How do you use a medicine ball?</h2>
<p>Our advice? Select the <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/news/what-size-medicine-ball-should-i-buy/">right weight and size</a> for you. Make sure the width is an appropriate diameter—no wider than your shoulders. The weight should be less than 10% of your body weight, so exercises are slightly slowed, but don’t restrict your movements. You can also move faster, performing throwing exercises without risk of damage to people or property.</p>
<p>Most training is performed with lighter balls—4–8Ib medicine balls are the most commonly used. These are ideal for speed work—you have enough weight to slow your movements without distorting them.</p>
<p>Contrary to other strength training equipment, such as weights, you don&#8217;t necessarily progress by getting heavier and heavier. It&#8217;s about improving your movement patterns while introducing just the right amount of resistance for feedback to get stronger and faster.</p>
<p>Pick too heavy a ball, and you will get an altered movement pattern that&#8217;s not necessarily beneficial. Some exercises lend themselves to heavier balls, such as squatting and lunging drills that keep the ball close to your core. However, for explosive movements, lighter balls are best.</p>
<p>Medicine balls are one of the most functional fitness training tools on the market, but don’t just take our word for it; try one out for yourself with the exercises listed below.</p>
<h2>How to exercise with a medicine ball</h2>
<p>The beauty of the medicine ball is that it offers <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/news/best-medicine-ball-exercises-to-train-your-whole-body/">full body training</a> while also being a great complement to competitive sporting activities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is a SLOG?</h2>
<p>The weighted SLOG (Strength Training LOG) is shaped like a pill or log and wrapped in a soft PVC shell. It’s one of the safest and most versatile odd-object training tools on the market. It can be lifted, flipped, thrown, carried, struck and dragged. It’s even robust enough to be jumped on and slammed.</p>
<h3>How does it compare to the Dynamax medicine ball?</h3>
<p>Like the medicine ball, the SLOG is a balanced, weighted training tool. The only real difference is that it’s an odd object that offers a lot more versatility in terms of the types of exercises you can do. Plus, it’s more robust—it can sustain slamming, which the soft-shell <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> is not suitable for.</p>
<p>The medicine ball is built for explosiveness and athleticism, whereas the SLOG is more of a strength training tool. The SLOG is a great way to complement the functional power and speed training of the medicine ball.</p>
<h3>How does it compare to the sandbag?</h3>
<p>When comparing the SLOG to the sandbag, the weight is more balanced and doesn’t shift as you move. Sandbags are not the most comfortable to use, and the soft, PVC outer shell of the SLOG is definitely a welcome upgrade. With the SLOG, you won’t have to worry about the inconvenience of leaking sand or inaccurate weight, and it offers more versatility! Much more.</p>
<h3>What are the benefits of using SLOG for group training?</h3>
<p>Discover some of the key benefits of incorporating the SLOG into your group training exercises.</p>
<ul>
<li>Coaches can enjoy unlimited exercises with this dynamic training tool.</li>
<li>With a soft PVC shell, it won&#8217;t damage property and is safe to use.</li>
<li>It’s fun and can be gamified.</li>
<li>You can train in any condition, indoors or outdoors, and it can be exposed to moisture.</li>
<li>Suitable for children and professional athletes, it’s highly versatile and offers a wide range of exercises.</li>
<li>As an all-in-one training tool, it’s affordable.</li>
<li>For younger users, the <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/slog-mini/?doing_wp_cron=1724420242.8427770137786865234375">SLOG Mini</a> helps to teach proper lifting techniques when performing exercises like squats and deadlifts.</li>
<li>It’s also a safe way to introduce weight lifting to novices. We recommend using the <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/videos/slog-bear-hug-squat/">bear hug squat</a> to practice the squat motion before transitioning to the barbell.</li>
<li>With the ability to take the SLOG outdoors, you can benefit from unlimited space.</li>
<li>It’s also highly portable, so setting up for your session will be much easier than carrying a bench, for instance.</li>
<li>It’s relatively compact design also frees up space in your training facility.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What exercises should you include?</h3>
<p>A wonderfully versatile training tool, the SLOG can be used as a bench, barbell, or balance trainer.</p>
<p>We recommend incorporating the SLOG into all three training stages, including stability, strength, and power. You can set up stations, and athletes can rotate between them to get a well-rounded training session.</p>
<h3>Stage 1: Stability and agility</h3>
<p>Start with groundwork, which includes footwork to enhance agility, balance, core, and coordination. We’ve hand-picked some drills that are perfect for this.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>20lb Medicine Ball Exercises</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> exercises below can be done on their own or as part of a circuit workout. It’s good to alternate between lower body, core movements and upper body.</p>
<p>As the weight of the Dynamax ball you train with increases, the exercises you choose should move closer to your core. The drills we’ve chosen have been carefully selected to give you more control and also protect your lower back.</p>
<p>Before you get started, make sure you bag a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">20Ib medicine ball</a>, an exercise mat and an area with plenty of space. We recommend using either our <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/elite-mma/?attribute_pa_weight=20-lb">Elite 14″ MMA Medicine Ball</a>, Elite 14″ Medicine Ball or our <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/standard-ball/?attribute_pa_weight=20-lb&amp;doing_wp_cron=1717688150.0220270156860351562500">Standard 14″ Medicine Ball</a>.</p>
<h3>1. Cowboy Squats</h3>
<p>A good start for your medicine ball workout, cowboy squats provide a total body strength move. For those who haven’t attempted this before, it’s a squat with an overhead reach. Squat with the ball resting on your head and your elbows out to the sides. Then, press overhead as you stand, finishing on your tiptoes.</p>
<p><strong>Muscles it targets:</strong> Calves, quads, hamstrings, deltoids and the shoulder complex.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2. Lateral Toe Taps</h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. D-Frogs</h3>
<p>The exercise is like a frog leap, hence its name. It’s ideal for building up your core strength, shoulder stability and giving your legs a good workout. In fact, this locomotion based medicine ball exercise offers a total body move. Pick up the ball, place it in front of you, and then hop your feet forward &#8211; simple, but effective.</p>
<p><strong>Muscles it targets:</strong> Core, shoulders, calves and quads.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="D-Frogs" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/767355793?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>5. Lateral D-Frogs</h3>
<p>Similar to regular D-Frogs, the lateral variety encourages you to move the ball laterally. Travel sideways with the ball across a mat.</p>
<p><strong>Muscles it targets:</strong> Core, shoulders, calves and quads.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Lateral D-Frog / Gorilla" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/767355814?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>6. Air (Wall) Ball</h3>
<p>Similar to the Cowboy Squat, an air (wall) ball packs more power and is great for building coordination and accuracy. Performed without the need for a wall, this front squat offers an explosive stand and pass, throwing the ball over your head. Stand tall, throw the ball, catch it and immediately start the next rep. You throw it in the air rather than at a wall.</p>
<p>Muscles it targets: Calves, quads, hamstrings, deltoids and the shoulder complex.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Air Ball" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/767355849?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>7. Reverse Log Toss (Stone Throw)</h3>
<p>This power exercise involves throwing the ball overhead backwards. Start in a squat position, throw the ball back over your head. Drop to the ball wherever it lands. Repeat and alternate directions.</p>
<p><strong>Muscles it targets:</strong> Posterior chain, quads, back muscles.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Overhead Toss Sequence.mp4" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/769977299?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Total body circuit workout using the Dynamax Wheel format</h2>
<p>For a High Intensity Training (HIT) workout, we recommend performing these exercises back-to-back. For maximum intensity, complete without any rest for 5–10 minutes. However, if you’re just starting out or building your endurance and stamina, a break of 30–60 seconds after every spoke exercise could offer a welcome rest and chance to catch your breath.</p>
<p>For an example total body circuit workout, use our tried-and-tested Dynamax Wheel format:</p>
<p><strong>Featured Hub Exercise:</strong> x 5 repetitions to be performed at the beginning of the workout, between each chaser (spoke) exercise, and at the end.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cowboy Squats</strong> x 5</li>
<li><strong style="background-color: var(--bs-body-bg); color: var(--bs-body-color); font-family: var(--bs-body-font-family); font-size: var(--bs-body-font-size); text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">Chaser Spoke Exercises:</strong><span style="background-color: var(--bs-body-bg); color: var(--bs-body-color); font-family: var(--bs-body-font-family); font-size: var(--bs-body-font-size); font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight); text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);"> all x 10 repetitions</span></li>
<li><strong>Lateral Toe Taps:</strong> x 5 repetitions each toe</li>
<li><strong>Sit Up Taps</strong></li>
<li><strong>D-Frogs:</strong> alternate 5x forward / 5x reverse</li>
<li><strong>Air (Wall) Balls</strong></li>
<li><strong>Lateral D-Frogs:</strong> alternate 5x left / 5x right</li>
<li><strong>Reverse Log Toss:</strong> 5x each direction</li>
</ul>
<p>We hope this total body medicine ball workout has given you all the tools you need to get started. Tap into these strength and power moves, get your heart pumping and enjoy the benefits for your physical health and wellbeing. Need more inspiration?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Can medicine balls be incorporated into children&#8217;s exercise regimes?</h2>
<p>When used safely, under supervision, and at a weight that is appropriate for their strength and skill level, weighted medicine balls are a fantastic workout aid for kids. They’re a great resource for PE teachers to introduce a more varied routine into their fitness classes.</p>
<p>While it’s considered a low risk, high reward training tool, selecting the right <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> is essential to keep your child interested and injury-free.</p>
<p>Starting at age six, we suggest starting with a soft-shell <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/weight/2-lb/">2lb medicine ball</a>, increasing in weight and size as your child grows in both size and strength.</p>
<p>Alternatively, as your child develops their strength and coordination, you can gradually introduce more challenging exercises with your medicine ball to promote continued progress. Up to 6Ibs is typically recommended for pre-teen children up to the age of 12.</p>
<h2>Benefits of medicine balls for kids</h2>
<p>Aside from improving cardiovascular health with routine full-body workouts, medicine balls contribute to the development of stable core muscles in children, which is key for improving balance and stability. <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/news/20lb-medicine-ball-exercises/">Medicine ball exercises</a> often involve throwing and catching, assisting the development of hand-eye coordination in kids.</p>
<p>Interesting games provide the perfect bonding opportunity for the family and keep exercise firmly in the ‘fun’ category &#8211; an essential requirement when building a life-long passion for fitness. Introducing games when throwing the ball between partners is a great place to start; add in squats or rotations when they’re ready, and challenge each other with planks and repetitions.</p>
<p>To get younger children engaged in resistance and strength training, throw in some fun sequences of squats, throws and rotations with the medicine ball. We recommend overhead throws, chest passes, catches and wall throws, all of which make great partner work for parents to enjoy with their child and for children to work together in PE class.</p>
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-45393-5" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.medicineballs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/medicine-ball-for-kids.mp4?_=5" /><a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/medicine-ball-for-kids.mp4">https://www.medicineballs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/medicine-ball-for-kids.mp4</a></video></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How a heavier medicine ball can take your athletic training to the next level</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Standard medicine balls</a> often range in weight from 2 lbs. to 30 lbs.</p>
<p>You’ll want to make sure you’re ready for the next level. Ideally, you want to feel some resistance without compensation. The goal is to slow, not distort, the movement when using a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a>.</p>
<p>Leveraging a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">heavier medicine ball</a> can encompass a wide range of benefits and outcomes. Below, we’ve listed how they can help you take your athletic training goals to the next level…</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Build muscle</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Lifting heavier weights can help you build muscle. Muscle gain, aside from making you look and feel stronger, is good for supporting bones and joints, boosting mental wellbeing and strengthening your immune system. It can also boost how your body processes nutrients. In turn, this will give you increased power and strength for all your sporting activities.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Burn more calories</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>It probably goes without saying, but a heavier <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> can help you burn more calories as you add load to patterns like squats, lunges, presses, and rotations. This is because it requires more energy and engages more muscle fiber to move the <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Versatile exercises to engage your muscles</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Medicine balls</a> aren’t just for your core muscles. They can also work your entire kinetic chain. Heavier or larger balls might not be quite as versatile as their lighter counterparts, but you can still throw them against a smooth, reinforced wall and incorporate them while performing drills such as sit-ups and squats.</p>
<h3>What weights are available?</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">heaviest medicine ball</a> is the Dynamax Atlas <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Medicine Ball</a>, which goes up to 150 lbs. and is designed for high-intensity, odd-object weight training. That is for experienced athletes at the peak of their performance.</p>
<p>When selecting a standard Dynamax heavy ball option, we recommend adding 10-14 lbs. to your light ball weight. For example, if you’re used to training with a 6-8 lb ball for explosive speed work, adding a 16-18 lb ball to your arsenal will be the perfect strength complement to help you achieve your training goals.</p>
<p>This also opens up contrast training opportunities, like our <strong>Heavy on Light</strong> and <strong>Heavy to Light</strong> exercises. Grab a partner and give them a try with a light and heavy ball.</p>

Ideally, you’ll want to use a Dynamax D-Ball as it is built to handle stronger, explosive overhead throws on any surface. When you throw a Dynamax D-ball ball, it will have limited bounce, no matter how fast the velocity or how hard the impact. This forces the athlete to retrieve the ball in a squat pattern, which engages the posterior chain on the way up, making it a true total-body exercise.</p>
<p>By incorporating a variety of drills and exercises with a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a>, you can engage the following muscles by performing ball slams:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shoulders</li>
<li>Lats</li>
<li>Triceps</li>
<li>Pecs</li>
<li>Calves</li>
<li>Back</li>
<li>Glutes</li>
<li>Hamstrings</li>
<li>Quadriceps</li>
<li>Calves</li>
<li>Core</li>
</ul>
<p>Due to the higher intensity and impact of the movements, you can build muscle that little bit faster.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The benefits of medicine ball training include:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Improved intermuscular coordination, agility, and balance</li>
<li>Enhanced mobility</li>
<li>Greater muscular strength and power output</li>
<li>Improved cardiovascular and muscular endurance</li>
</ul>
<h3>The science behind muscle growth</h3>
<p>In the aftermath of a workout where you’ve engaged and broken down your muscles, your body goes into repair mode, forming new muscle protein strands. This is how you grow muscle. Without getting too technical, the more muscle cells you engage and recruit, the more muscular strength and growth you will experience. When training explosively, where you recruit the larger, more metabolically active type II muscle fiber, there’s an even greater physiological response.</p>
<p>If you’re just starting out with medicine balls, you don’t need to go all out in your first training session. As for the weight, less than 10 Ibs. is a good starting point. Once you’re comfortable with the drills, it’s worth trialling several options.</p>
<p>The sweet spot for muscle strength training is to have a slight resistance in the speed of your movement. That’s how you know that your muscles are having to work harder. What you want to avoid is struggling to perform the moves &#8211; that means you’ve chosen a weight that’s too heavy.</p>
<p>Versatility is also key. You want to ensure that your muscles are consistently challenged. Switching up your moves can help. If you’re ready, you could also ramp up the weight.</p>
<h3>Get started with your muscle strength training</h3>
<p>If you want to build your muscular endurance, check out our <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine balls</a> for sale. We’re approved by leading American athletes and craft medicine balls that are built to endure even the most intense workouts</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Are medicine balls and slam balls the same?</strong></h3>
<p>Medicine and slam balls are not the same. Although they are both used for strength training and look similar, their compositions are different.</p>
<h3>Differences between a medicine ball and a slam ball</h3>
<p>There are significant differences between a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> and a slam ball. They are both round and often shoulder-width wide, so they can safely be used for building physical strength. Yet, the slam ball is hard and is typically used for slamming to build power (hence the name). By contrast, a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/#">medicine ball</a> is more commonly used for core and power training, and isn’t designed to be thrown aggressively against any hard surface. The <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">softer core of medicine balls</a> makes them safer to use for bodyweight exercises, but means that slamming or intensive outdoor use on hard surfaces is off the table. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Medicine balls</a> are designed to be used for core training and resistance, which is great if you want to build body strength and muscle. If, on the other hand, you want to build speed and power in your upper body, slam balls are ideal. </p>
<p>Although slam balls are harder inside, they’re not necessarily heavier than medicine balls. Both come in a wide variety of different weights, intended for users of varying fitness levels. </p>
<h3>Can you use a slam ball in place of a medicine ball?</h3>
<p>You can use a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/dynamax-d-ball/">slam ball</a> in place of a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a>, especially if the workout is more aggressive and intense. </p>
<p>Slam balls won’t break as easily, as they are dense and can withstand more pressure when thrown against something. <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Medicine balls</a> aren’t suitable for slamming for this reason, although they’re ideal for practically every other style of workout. For this reason, most of our customers start out with a <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> and invest in a slam ball a little later on.</p>

<p>If this is an exercise you like to add to your workouts <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/dynamax-d-ball">slam balls</a> like the Dynamax D-ball, have limited rebound and encourage you to use your legs and posterior chain to lift the ball overhead with each rep. This makes it a total body exercise firing muscles in the legs, back, shoulders, arms, and core.</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>The slam ball is a form of <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">medicine ball</a> designed to be thrown with force against a reinforced wall, or into the ground. Some designs are suitable for using outdoors and against rough surfaces, including the <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/dynamax-d-ball/">Dynamax D-ball</a> which has weights ranging from 6lb – 150lbs.</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>Lighter weights are ideal for building explosive speed and tapping into fast twitch type II muscle fibers, while the heavier weights will slow the movement resulting in more of a strength training effect.</p>
<h2>What are the benefits of using slam balls?</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Increase muscle density</h4>



<p>Building muscle in itself brings a whirlwind of benefits for your body. Tapping into larger, fast twitch muscle fibers helps you burn fat as it revs up your metabolism.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Enhance athletic performance</h4>



<p>Varying your workouts is known to be a powerful aid in enhancing athletic performance. Adding slam patterns to your routine will give you or your client an easy way to tap into the often neglected fast twitch fibers that are key in building athleticism, and important for any level of fitness.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Speed up your metabolism</h4>



<p>Firing fast twitch, highly metabolic muscle fiber, while activating more overall muscle when performing slams is a great way to help reduce body fat.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Improve cardiovascular health</h4>



<p>Enhancing the health of your heart and circulatory system has multiple benefits. Not only can it help decrease the risk of developing certain diseases, it can also boost your mental capacity and concentration levels. The better your heart is able to pump blood around your body, the more oxygen and energy you will receive.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Give your mental health a boost</h4>



<p>If your fitness routine has plateaued, a <strong>slam ball</strong> could be just the thing you need to wake your body up and challenge yourself. If your body feels good, you’re more likely to feel good in your mind, too. With the cardiovascular benefits, you can also enhance your mental clarity and ability to focus.</p>



<p>Not all <strong>slam balls</strong> are created equal. The <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/product/dynamax-d-ball/">Dynamax D-Ball</a> is built with the same quality and integrity associated with the Dynamax <a href="https://www.medicineballs.com/dynamax/balls/">Medicine Ball</a> brand for decades. The D-Ball’s design makes it a perfect tool for your high-power outdoor workouts. Get your’s from Dynamax today.</p>
