Now, on to today’s Medicine Ball workout video!

Metabolic Medicine Ball Workout
.
The video below shows me “gettin after it” with a 4kg medicine ball during an outdoor metabolic workout. This medicine ball workout is fun, intense and just plain tough!
.
It involves four different medicine ball throws each performed at maximal effort:
8x Vertical Push Press Throw
16x Soccer Throw (alternating legs, 8 reps per leg)
16x Side Rotary Throw (alternating sides, 8 reps per side)
8x Overhead Slams
Perform 4-5 sets with 2-3minutes rest between sets.
.
Here’s the video…
.
I know this workout doesn’t look all that difficult on the video. But, trust me when I say “it’s tough!”.
Remember, I’m not just throwing the ball each time – I’m throwing the ball with every ounce of power I can generate! That’s a total of 48 maximal effort reps!
.
Medicine ball workouts are not about the exercises. Instead, they’re about the amount of intensity you put behind each rep. That’s why I love training with the medicine ball. It allows you to fully express your power in an athletic, task driven manor that’s fun to do!

Give this Medicine Ball workout a try and let me know what you think – Especially all you MMA athletes out there!
