Benefits of doing exercises with rubber medicine balls, wall balls and slam balls:

Explosive power

• When you throw the balls, you use what is known as a "thrusting movement" and this increases your explosive power.

• Medicine, slam and wall balls are good replacements for free weights and so, you can use them effectively when you do exercises like squats, sit-ups and lunges for building strength. Especially, when you use slam balls and do dynamic exercises, you strengthen the body parts like the shoulders, arms, quads, glutes, abs and the back.

• When you use these balls and do your exercises, you make dynamic movements which means you are working your lungs and heart, thus enhancing your cardiovascular health.

• Exercises that involve these balls enhance your functional fitness because they involve almost all your muscles and joints. For example, when you throw your wall ball, you will be moving the entire body. William Imbo, Associate Editor of BoxLife Magazine and also a Crossfit trainer says that wall squats and throwing exercises are particularly functional.

• Exercises that involve medicine, slam and wall balls can enhance your hand-eye coordination. Especially, when you throw wall balls, you will be keen not to miss catching the balls and so, will try to use your eyes and hands efficiently.
