Medicine balls are versatile tools, serving as weighted spheres often made of rubbery materials.
They can complement traditional free weight exercises while offering unique benefits such as safe throwing or slamming motions, and introducing instability due to their rounded design.
Workouts tailored for women aim to target key muscle groups like the back, which is responsible for pulling movements and shoulder stabilization.
Suggested rep and resistance levels are based on averages for women approximately 5’5” tall, weighing 140 lbs, and around 34 years old, although these factors should be adjusted to individual needs.
Incorporating rows, pull ups, and similar movements can effectively engage these muscles for optimal results.
