Playing with Med Balls

I figured if Dusty's so into this there's gotta be something good about it.

3 miles biking at level 15 in 10 minutes

Med Ball 200 from this Menshealth article.
Kicked my ass! Of course I felt like I needed to do it with a 12 lbs ball.

Workout is as follows:

While standing:
10 clockwise circles

10 counter clockwise circles

20 squats holding the ball above your head and swinging it through your legs on the squat

20 Standing Russian Twists (this is where the ball starts to get real heavy)

20 Squats holding the ball at your chest and pressing the ball to the sky when you stand up

20 Sit ups holding the ball on your chest

10 Rocky twists to the left and 10 to the right. Rocky twist is you sit and turn to your left and leave the ball behind your back, you then twist to the right and pick it up and bring it around again. Like in Rocky.

20 Toe Touch, holding the ball straight out while laying down you pick it up and touch your toes in the air

20 twists while seated (in theory you hold your legs off the ground, my core couldn't take that)

20 suitcase crunches, again holding the ball straight out while laying down you crunch up and put the ball over alternating left and right legs. Once you've put the ball over both your right and your left, that's 1 rep.

20 Diagonal crunches - lie on the ground with your legs spread, hold the ball at 10 o'clock, sit up, put the ball between your legs, and then go down in the other direction to hold the ball at 2 o'clock (that's one, and this is where my core started to cramp)

And you're done. Loved it. Going to do it twice next time with a lighter med ball.

Then went and did 3 x 12 incline presses with 35 lbs dumbells.
