Strength training is not just about heavy equipment and machinery. These days, a whole new generation of athletes is discovering the benefits of medicine balls. There are many advantages to using this gadget:
~Medicine balls strengthen the vital core muscles of the body which involve the abs, obliques and lower back. These muscles are very important because the power of the arms and legs originate from there. ~Medicine balls prepare the body for realistic movements. They help athletes perform a wide range of motions such as throwing, swinging, kicking and jumping. ~Medicine ball training also strengthens the supporting muscles around key joints and builds joint integrity to the critical shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle areas. Pitchers avoid elbow blowouts, football players don’t get hamstring pulls and basketball players are prevented from tearing up ligaments.
