How to: Make a medicine ball for $5

Medicine balls are a great addition to any workout, esspecially in the martial arts. I imagine just about every boxing gym has a bunch of them lieing around, but martial arts clubs often lack them. They are great for ab work, plyometric training, and general next morning soreness inducing. Problem is, they can get pretty pricey, so here is a easy, cheap alternative that makse a good, sturdy medicine ball.

THAT....is a bloody good idea speically for the pooerer MA teacher, great idea

 

bingo, buying enough medicine balls for a class is a lot of $$

 

brilliant

 

Good find, thanks for sharing.

 

That's very cool. Thanks for the link!

 

just to make sure, I'd duct tape the whole thing

 

Although I've seen it before, you have now inspired me to make one up this weekend Great idea and you can't beat the price. There are probably schools that will want to throw away popped or knackered old basketballs too so you could get it for even cheaper.

 

That's quite cool! And if anyone is looking for sand Argos sells 15kg for £2.49

 

lol. Very nice. I'll have to try that one day.

 

Yup what an excellent idea.
Bit late though, im now £30 short and one 4kg medicine ball extra.
