Thread: medicine ball

What weight should I buy for a medicine ball. I want to use it mainly for teaching better use of the lower half with my DD, but also for core training. She is 170lbs and really strong. Thanks!

There is a good selection at Walmart. I would rather go too light, than too heavy. Mine is 6 lbs. I am 5'9" 140.

Thanks Amy. I want to use the drill that I've read about on this site. She still is an "arm swinger" despite all the work.

I have also seen and used a bucket of softballs.I use the bucket that we use for batting pratice.I will put softballs in it and keep adding balls as we go along.Don't forget the lid,not that I have.lol

Thanks rdbass. I just bought the ball. I used to box for years and loved the medicine ball, so I thought it would be fun to use it again also...at least for a day until I get too sore

DD's form looks so much better with the medicine ball...she actually uses her lower half. Now if I can just get it to translate over to her bat.
