Medicine Ball

[cheval]

I've never used a medicine ball before, but Core Max uses one and I'd like to get one to use, too. What weight and type should I get for this?

Thanks,
April

Hi April,

I purchased an 8 lb medicine ball a few yeasr ago to use with Boot Camp. Cathe uses an 8 lb medicine ball in Boot Camp as well. I use it for Core Max and several of her other w/o's as well. Some people may use a 10 lb. med ball but I prefer the 8. You still feel the burn!

I use the 8lb medicine ball too. I always thought I may need to get a heavier one, but that hasn't happened yet.

Thanks! I'll look at getting an 8 lb one on my shopping trip this week.

FYI: If you get the 8# and find that it seems a bit too heavy, just shorten your lever (ie: bring your arms closer to your body) and it will seem lighter.
