I just bought a medicine ball, i love as opposed to wieghts, but i only know like two drills with it. My wife helps when i do sit ups, we throw it back and forth to each other on the up, but what other excersices can any one recommend??? But for reals, the med. Ball is tops in my book, talk about a work out......thanks to all

yeh, thats a pretty good workout. I usually start people out on a 10 or 13 pound ball to kind of get the feel of it. Some time soon i'll do up a video and/or book that will have that Medicine ball routine in it.

This is the best homemade medicine ball i've found. The only thing I changed was I used hot glue instead of Shoe Goo.
