Medicine ball workout exercises
Body-Shaping Boost
As soon as the stability ball bounced onto the fitness scene, the days of banging out boring crunches were over. But the medicine ball, and its siblings the medicine ball and the Bosu trainer, can be used to target muscles beyond the abs. It just takes some exercise ingenuity.
Ashley Ntansah, personal-training manager at Club H Fitness, came up with these moves to improve coordination and banish unwanted inches (as well as workout tedium). For a body-shaping boost, pick and choose a few moves to mix into your usual exercise routine.
Bosu Dynamic Plank
Dynamic is the perfect way to describe this upper-body blast that works your triceps, chest, shoulders, and core.
To do it: Start in a push-up position, with your hands on a Bosu trainer and your feet hip-width apart (a). Lower your left forearm onto the Bosu (b), then your right, keeping your body in a straight line (c). Push back to the starting position, starting with your left hand.
That's one rep. Do 10 to 15. Rest for 15 seconds, then repeat, leading with your right arm. Keep alternating for two or three sets.
