Did a light lift and played with my new medicine ball, which actually isn’t that new or a medicine ball. My granny died a few years back and as we were going through her stuff I found a 16 lb shotput. It has been tucked in a corner of my house since I brought it home. I rediscovered it about a month ago as I was sorting through the household goods to give my soon-to-be X her share of what has accumulated over the last 20 years.
I found using a solid steel ball for exercises that I normally would do with a medicine ball is really great in strengthing my grip. The risk of dropping it and having it land on any part of my body is not something that I wish to experience. So far my favorite exercise with it is to squat and pass it around my legs in the same manner that basketball players do to practice ball control.
