When choosing a medicine ball, in addition to the weight, it is important what type of exercise you will be using it for. A classic model will work well for rehabilitation and beginners, while a slam ball will help you work on dynamics and muscle strengthening. Pay attention to the material - the best option is a medicine ball made of high-quality rubber (non-slip, very good grip) or synthetic leather (durable, moisture-resistant). Classic medicine ball The traditional medicine ball model usually has a dual-textured surface, which enhances the precision of the grip. It is used for plyometric training (exercises that use the natural stretch-shortening cycle of the muscles), i.e. squats, abdominals, lunges, etc. Slam ball The slam ball is thicker and more flexible than the classic medicine ball. It is usually filled with sand or gel, so it does not bounce. It is ideal for exercises to improve dynamics and fitness and to strengthen the triceps, shoulders or glutes. Suitable for circuit training, HIIT or crossfit. Wall ball The wall ball is a large size ball made from a durable and weatherproof material. It is used for strength and technical exercises, including the popular wall ball shots, i.e. a squat with an upward throw of the medicine ball/hitting the wall. Medicine ball with handles The presence of non-slip grips (one or two) on the sides of this medicine ball allows for a secure grip, a greater range of movement and a highly dynamic exercise.High-quality medicine balls are available at Sportano and can be successfully used in corrective gymnastics, rehabilitation or during strength training.
