Medicine balls are versatile tools made of a durable, weighted material that can enhance fitness routines by providing resistance or added instability.
They are particularly useful for exercises targeting legs, as these sessions often engage multiple muscle groups, including the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, adductors, and abductors.
Lower body workouts integrating medicine balls commonly involve movements like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, enabling effective activation of these muscles.
Utilizing the medicine ball's unique capacity for being thrown or smashed adds dynamic elements to the routine, accommodating varied fitness settings.
