From your local doctor to your physical therapist’s office all the way to pro sport locker rooms, professionals highly recommend medicine ball training because of the variety of benefits they offer to every athletic level – Weekend, Amateur and Pro. Anyone involved at any level with body building, golf, baseball, basketball, football, tennis, soccer, hockey, swimming, MMA, boxing and just about any other athletic endeavor, will benefit by adding these to their routine. Medicine Balls offer a variety of benefits to nearly every part of the body, especially when compared to weight machines. They help build critically vital core muscles, which are comprised of abs, obliques, and lower back. This is where arm and leg strength originate from. Medicine balls also prepare the body for realistic rotational motions, like throwing, unlike machines where users are fixed to a single plane of movement. Many different throwing, swinging, and rotational movements are possible with these balls. Additionally, ball exercises combine weight training with speed of movement to build explosive strength and endurance. The dual texture on the balls ensures a superior grip and keeps them from getting sweaty and slippery as workouts get intense. This textured pattern allows a comfortable, yet secure grip so balls can be safely handled while bouncing, catching or tossing. These are not your granddad’s medicine balls. CanDo Medicine Balls feature professional grade strength and a durable design that’s built to last. Strong and easy to clean, they are sweat proof and hold up better than leather balls which get slick or scuffed up, with seams that eventually tear. The robust rubber shell casing is puncture and burst-resistant, making these medicine balls ideal for multi-use environments. The balls are made from dry natural rubber, which means they contain Latex and plenty of bounce. CanDo Firm Medicine Balls are available in eight color-coded weights for Adults and Children. A five-piece set is also available. The potential user’s age, sex, size, and purpose will dictate how heavy a ball is appropriate. As a loose guide, an 8-15 lb. ball will give a good abdominal core workout. A 4-10 lb. ball is good for tossing exercises. Use a heavier ball in the range of 15-30 lbs. for leg exercises that build hamstrings and quads.
