Be Well Workout of the Week: Get Ripped With a Medicine Ball in 24 Minutes Flat
All you need for this workout is a medicine ball. You know, the one that looks like a basketball but is deceivingly heavy. Most gyms should have a rack of medicine balls available, so choose a weight that is challenging but doable for a variety of exercises.
Here’s how the workout’s going to go: You are going to have four rounds of exercises, with each round lasting for six minutes. Each round will consist of a circuit of four exercises that you will complete as many times as you can in those six minutes. Got it? Okay, get to sweating!
