Medicine Ball Twists
3 x 30 reps
w/12 lb medicine ball
UHM! I don't know who made this medicine ball but I think they are LIARS (decided to try using the medicine ball my friend brought to the gym rather than the 12.5 lbs). I know what 12 lbs feels like and this bad boy was hittin' close to 15. the 12 lb medicine ball the gym owns isn't even as heavy as this thing. I thought my hands were going to fall off by the time I reached the 30th rep of each set. o.O

Cardio goal: Moderate intensity 30 to 40 min
HR between 137 - 157 BPM
