Tips to use a Medicine Ball Effectively
You can really change your routine by adding in some routine medicine ball exercises to your training program.You can get some serious metabolic benefit from pairing up some of the exercises I’ve listed below as part of a medicine ball workout. These can be good six pack ab exercises.
If you don’t have a medicine ball already you need to get one fast! I think you should get an eight pound ball if you are a man. Women should probably try using a six pounder.
To get a complete circuit, you’re going to need to finish all the exercises without any breaks in between. This will maximize your results.
Also, you need only do this once unless you are an advanced trainer and you want to show off to yourself.
Begin by squatting with the sphere in your hands. Lower yourself at the hips and then drive yourself back up. On the way up, your sphere should be lifted overhead with your arms extended.
A big circle exercise is next, where the ball is higher than your head in both hands. Rotate your ball down and then around like a clock. The power golf squat is next. How many golfers have you seen doing this?
Put each foot with a good space in between. You’ll get your sphere up and then propel it downward to your foot that is on the opposite side.Once you’re finished with this oblique move on to the other.
Pushups on decline are next: put your feet up on the ball and do a pushup. You know the routine. You can probably find more about this in a weight loss forum.
Lunge diagonally for the next exercise. Do a chopping motion starting with the sphere overhead as you move forward. Be sure to complete this for both sides.
For a special challenge, curl the sphere with your legs.
Do this by putting your feet up on the ball and then with your hips bridged roll the ball toward you and then away from you.Bridge your thighs if you can’t do this one, OK?
Now I have two more exercises that are optional: the pull-ups with the medicine ball held between your feet and the medicine ball slams.
With the pull ups, make sure you get your chest all the way to the bar. For the slams, propel the medicine ball to the ground with one foot and then the other foot forward.
