Medicine balls are weighted spheres crafted to provide a wide range of dynamic resistance training options.
They are particularly beneficial due to their versatility, allowing for exercises that involve pressing, throwing, or smashing movements without risking damage to the environment.
The chest muscles, located on the anterior torso, are often engaged in movements such as horizontal presses or fly patterns, effectively enhancing pectoral strength and structure.
Conversely, the back, positioned on the posterior upper torso, contributes to pulling actions and aids in overall postural and shoulder function.
When exercised together, the chest and back synergize to promote muscular balance and overall upper-body development, creating a comprehensive workout experience.
