Medicine Ball Workouts ─ Strengthen Major and Supporting Muscle Groups for Increased Power, Coordination and Core Stability

A full-body program featuring step-by-step exercises to sculpt and tone arms, chest, abs, and legs using weighted medicine balls

When cavemen lifted and carried heavy boulders, they were not working out, they were building shelter. A weighted medicine ball allows one to get in shape by reproducing the natural strength movements that humans have been doing for millennia. Now, Medicine Ball Workouts shows both beginners and advanced athletes how to maximize the benefits of these balls through easy instruction and step-by-step photos of a wide range of exercises that build long, lean muscles and a toned core. One of the most useful and versatile fitness tools ever conceived, medicine balls are among the favorite training tools of top Olympic athletes and everyday personal trainers alike. The workouts in this book cover everything from simple core-engaging exercises and triceps-building lifts to heart-pounding cardio workouts that tone the body from shoulders to toes.
