Total Body Medicine Ball Workouts

Gym Workouts: Total Body Medicine Ball

Including a medicine ball in traditional bodyweight exercises let's you further develop balance and strength.

All of these exercises can be done without a medicine ball as well if you're traveling. The ideal situation would be to start with a medicine ball in a gym (or at home) and then continue with the movements even when you don't have access to one; you'll find that once you're back to the gym - you'll be at the same level if not better.

Squat & press: max reps in 40 seconds
