Red Trunks = New Videos Part 6 (Medicine Ball Slams) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some Medicine Ball Slams. I love medicine balls workouts because they are a break from the traditional bodybuilding workouts and help you work on power and core strength. Plus, who doesnt want to just pick up something and slams it down as hard as you can into concrete floor. Here are additional benefits to medicine ball workouts:

Benefits of exercises with medicine balls

There are many benefits to exercising with medicine balls that are difficult to achieve with other workouts:

* Ditch the jumping jacks every once in awhile & do a medicine ball routine for a great warm-up activity.

* Medicine ball training targets your core. It really works the abs & back. Having strong, supple ab & back muscles increase performance in many activities but it also helps avert injury. Persons who practice yoga also maintain that working the abs & back with motions that are fluid also improve the tone & function of internal organs.

* Medicine ball training is one of the best ways to strengthen the muscles around your key joints, critical areas involving the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle areas. Many aerobic & strengthening workouts do not involve those areas. This too can help to avert injury & possibly arthritic conditions.

* Medicine ball fitness can include cardiovascular training. Movements would have to be fairly repetitive & last for at least 20 minutes. Of course you could easily modify your medicine ball exercise to do an interval routine that is also good cardiovascular training.

* Exercises with medicine balls are good for developing upper and lower body fitness. Add the core also & you have a piece of equipment that could exercise the entire body including the innards!

* Medicine ball routines blend physical skills, like strength, coordination, balance, accuracy, and flexibility.

* Medicine balls prepare your body for realistic motions. This is essentially what is meant by functional fitness. They are the kinds of movements that you might do in real life situations.

* Medicine ball training is good for rehab (check with your doctor or therapist first). There are many exercises that could be adapted for back & arthritis sufferers & for getting back into shape after some injury.

* Medicine ball exercises are good for all ages, fitness levels, sizes. You can have a fitness ball exercise class that includes all family members.
