Get Fitter with Our 7-Minute Medicine Ball Workout

Must read

This is a fun and quick workout that engages your entire body with seven easy exercises using a medicine ball, which you can find at pretty much any gym. Start by doing one full set of 8–10 repetitions of each exercise, and work your way up to completing three sets. Each set of seven exercises will take roughly seven minutes to complete — we’ll call it the 7-by-7 medicine ball workout. You’ll work through every plane of motion in this one workout, which is great cross-training for your body. You’ll need either a sand-filled medicine ball or a dumbbell.

1. Wood Chop Right and Left
Muscles Used: (Core, Glutes, Quads)

2. Squat to Push Overhead with Tricep Press
Muscles Used: (Glutes, Quads, Deltoids, Triceps)

Before any workout, you’ll want to warm up. Start by holding a 2-pound medicine ball, and sit back into a squat, then push the medicine ball over your head. Extend your arms in front of you, do torso rotations and flow right into wood chops, both right and left. You can keep the medicine ball or just do body-weight reverse lunges and lateral lunges.

Consult your physician before you begin any exercise program.
