Medicine Ball

kwduhon Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/11/15	2003/11/16, 07:45 PM I'm new to this whole thing and of course my weight shows it; I'm 6'1 360 pounds male. Yesterday I just bought some hand weights and a medicine ball and I'm planning to do your home workout; I would attend a local gym but don't have the extra money. My question; is there any good exercise to do with this ball? It weigh 10 pounds.

You then twist and pass it to the person behind you... you turn to the left and then receive the ball on the right from your partner.

I like mine for rotational lunges, squats with a jump at the top, overhead triceps extensions, push-upps with one hand on the med ball, crunches with the ball above your chest.... so many possibiliites.
