Strength trainers everywhere are recommending medicine ball training for all of its key benefits. They will build your critically vital core muscles which are comprised of your abs, obliques, and lower back. These muscles are vital because arm and leg strength originate from here.

More Info

How heavy a ball to use depends on your age, gender, size and purpose. An 8-15 LB ball will give a good abdominal core workout. A 4 -10 LB ball is good for tossing exercises. Use a heavier ball around 15-30 LBS for leg exercises that build hamstrings and quads. Women and juniors use balls on the lower end of the range, men use balls on the higher end of the range. For a woman or junior wanting to purchase their first ball, a 6 lb ball would be a good choice. For a man, a 10 lb ball would be a good first choice.
