Re: Medicine Ball

What variety did you get?

Does it have two handles?
Is it a rubberised one that you can bounce - like a basketball?

What weight? 3kg?

What plans do you have for your abs?

Try this for now:

Re: Medicine Ball

Ok

- Its 4Kg
- Cannot be bounced as so hard
- No handles

Im thinking strengthening my abs/body because it SHOULD i am thinking help with my back.

Also any exercises which would benefit my cricket as that is always the goal

Re: Medicine Ball

Great freddiw, strengthening your abs will help support your spine. You also need to strengthen your multifidus and quadratus lumborum [spine stabilisers]. Take a look at my post February 29, 2008, 08:07:15 PM from http://www.simplycricket.net/empty-t2026.0.html;msg17912#msg17912
