Medicine balls are versatile fitness tools, constructed from durable materials and available in a variety of weights to suit different workout needs.
Unlike traditional free weights, they can be thrown or slammed into surfaces without causing damage, making them ideal for dynamic exercises.
Their spherical design also allows them to bring an element of instability to movements, challenging balance and engaging core muscles more intensely.
This combination makes them highly effective for a wide range of training goals, from building explosive strength to enhancing functional fitness.
