    Description:  depends on the weight of the ball.i favor the heavier medicine balls (20-25 pounds) and you can easily make your own for less than $10 with nothing more than a basketball, some playground sand and some glue.

    one of the best exercises i know of that utilizes a medicine ball is called "wall ball" and works best if you have at least a 20-pound ball.holding the ball at chest level while standing two feet from a tall wall, squat down (full squat position) and then explode up simultaneously extending the arms.catch the ball on it's descent and return to the squat position and repeat.doing this for lots of sets of moderate reps and short rest intervals is a great workout and develops total body explosiveness.

    another good one that doesn't require such a heavy ball is "recoveries".you do these on a grassy field.with the ball held at chest level, perform a chest pass and then sprint after the ball and recovery it.continue this passing and sprinting for a set distance, say 100 meters.this is another good total body explosive exercise.
