Getting started with resistance training? The 5lb medicine ball is one of the lighter weights available. With its ‘mini’ size and soft outer shell, it’s less intimidating than the weightier medicine balls and more user friendly.
From lunges and throws to rotations, there are endless drills you can do to engage the whole body. Medicine ball drills work best for the triceps, abdomen, shoulders, calves, back, glutes, quads, and core muscles. Resistance training develops power, strength and speed. It also gets the heart pumping and burns calories. Take a look at our medicine ball exercises for advice from our fitness team.
