Medicine balls are a versatile tool for enhancing workout routines.
Composed of durable materials, they serve as resistance, accommodating exercises typically performed with free weights.
However, their unique design allows actions such as throwing or slamming without causing harm to surroundings.
They can also introduce instability, challenging core engagement.
The upper body comprises various muscle groups, including the chest, back, biceps, and others.
Structured routines often integrate compound lifts such as the shoulder press and rows, complemented by isolation exercises for comprehensive muscle activation.
