Weight Ball Exercises







The weight ball, which is also known as the medicine ball, can be used for a variety of exercises. Weight balls can be used to improve strength, agility, dynamic balance and athleticism. Your weight ball routine should be performed three times a week.


Choose Your Weight Balls








Weight balls can weigh up to 10 pounds. Choose a lighter ball for balance exercises, and a heavier ball for strength.


Weight Ball for Plyometric Exercise


Hold a weight ball with both hands. As you inhale, jump up and toss the ball into the air. As you exhale, catch the ball and land in a squat. Perform three sets of eight repetitions.


Weight Ball Oblique Toss


This exercise uses a stability ball in conjunction with a weight ball. Assume a crunch position on the ball. Rotate at the waist as you toss the ball from hand to hand. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions to each side.


Weight Ball Reverse Curls


Lie on your back with your knees bent. Place a weight ball between your inner thighs. Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, use your abdominal muscles to lift your pelvis from the floor. Inhale to return. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions.
