Weight Ball Exercises

The weight ball, which is also known as the medicine ball, can be used for a variety of exercises. Weight balls can be used to improve strength, agility, dynamic balance and athleticism. Your weight ball routine should be performed three times a week.

Choose Your Weight Balls

Weight balls can weigh up to 10 pounds. Choose a lighter ball for balance exercises, and a heavier ball for strength.
