Different Sizes of Medicine Balls

Video Transcript

"In this first clip we will be talking about the different sizes of medicine balls. As you can see here we have a couple of medicine balls, we have 3 or 4 in the gym. The first one is a relatively smaller ball, a 9 to 10 pound average ball, but it is good for the juniors, and it is also good for certain applications, even for the adults and the seniors. Do not be deceived by the small size of the ball and think that all heavy weights need heavy balls, and all feather weights need the smaller medicine balls. Everyone has a reason for having a particular size and also for a particular exercise. This one here is a little bit heavier, this is about a 15 pounder, and certainly shouldn't be used by the juniors, a little bit heavier and will be working with this one a bit later. We also included today just a regular basketball, because sometime the lighter medicine balls are not light enough for what we will be doing with a particular exercise or particular routine. Guy? You pretty much covered it. A few other things, there are different materials the balls are made of, leather, synthetic, rubber, and you should try them all out and find one that is right for you."
