Brief History of Medicine Balls

Medicine Balls are a basic and very versatile exercise tool. Because of their adaptability, medicine balls have made a resurgence over the last few years. They are thousands of years old, and have stuck around because of their effectiveness.  

The Medicine Ball is one of the oldest forms of strength and conditioning equipment. It is nearly 3000 years old. The ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates, made them out of animal skins and had them stuffed with sand.

With  this DVD you can join the ranks of so many that are coming BACK to this outstanding training method! Medicine Ball training is an effective, safe and relatively inexpensive way to train!

 

Why train with Medicine Balls?

The unique qualities of using a medicine ball are that you can train in all three planes of movement. You can also train slowly or very quickly, developing power. And everyone needs to be able to develop and receive power, to deal with life and sport. You can fully train Power with Medicine Balls, since you can actually throw and catch them! (Try doing that with Dumbbells in your local gym!)

This tool can also be used for Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, General Physical Adaptations or Athletic Sport Movements. The exercises can be made to be appropriate for all levels of ability and development from the overweight beginner to the elite athlete, male or female. You can use them in all training environments, in large group situations or solo.

 

Stronger Core, Stronger Body

Medicine ball exercises are an excellent way of training the entire body, especially the core muscles, to work together as a unit, as well as keeping it fun, by turning boring exercises into dynamic and interesting ones.  Virtually all "standard" training ignores the key elements of dynamic torso flexibility and twisting action, yet the real world and all sports require a fluid twisting motion to excel and reduce injury factors.

 

What are the General Physical Adaptations you get with Medicine Ball Training?

These are areas that everyone needs to work on, to be able to deal with the demands of the real world. They include, but are not limited to:

Dynamic Stabilization

Rotation

Flexibility

Strength

Speed

Power

Agility

Balance

Coordination

Kinesthetic Awareness

Endurance

Psychological Development

Injury Prevention

 

Isn’t it amazing that one training tool can do all of that?

So do not hesitate to invest in yourself, and your training, by investing in this DVD.
