A huge Globo gym full of complex exercise equipment does not a great workout make. Some of the most intense training sessions can happen with minimal to no equipment at all.
For example, here are 10 awesome exercises you can do with a simple medicine ball. Choose a few and combine them in rounds, or do them one after another in a tabata workout.* If you’re not a hurtin’ unit after that, you’re not working hard enough.
*Tabata = 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, performed 8 times through.
1) Wall balls
2) Medicine ball sit ups
3) Medicine ball Turkish get-ups
4) Medicine ball cleans
5) Seated medicine ball abdominal twists
6) Medicine ball push ups
7) Medicine ball slam
8) Medicine ball wood chopper
9) Medicine ball burpee
10) Medicine ball sit up with overhead throw
