HIIT with medicine ball

brachii Posts: 79 Joined: 2007/02/26	2007/03/02, 05:57 PM I was thinking of carrying a medicine ball everytime i did HIIT, not very heavy maybe...i dunno 20, 30 or even 40lbs medicine ball. The reason why im considering this is because i remember hearing that pretty much any exercise that makes you really breathe hard will increase your stamina, and im looking ways to raise my stamina.

By doing HIIT with a medicine ball could make them weaker, correct? -------------- \"Gold medals aren\'t really made of gold.
