Review : Valeo Medicine Ball


Tired of running for cardio?

Medicine balls are a great piece of equipment to own for endurance and core training. You can find them through their website here.

Valeo Medicine Ball


This review is for the 10 lb version of the Medicine Ball.

Price : 8/10

For the amount of variety and countless routines you can add to your regiment, the price tag of roughly $34.00 online isn't a bad deal at all. The only draw back in price is that each weight you would like - as is the nature of this product - does require purchasing a different ball.

Grip and Durability : 10/10

The grip on the medicine balls is similar to that of a basketball. Very solid and easy to catch - assuming proper care is used. As will come with all equipment designed to be thrown the grips do deteriorate after heavy usage. This does take a good deal of time however, and shouldn't been as a deterant from this equipment.

Fitness Benefits :  10/10

The benefit of having a medicine ball for your core and endurance training is a big. Having your own personal medicine ball that you can use and abuse is even bigger though. This spring we will be covering a variety of routines and fitness plans that incorporate medicine balls. The modern design of the medicine balls is also a great benefit. The standard/classic medicine ball was that of weight - but not of bounce. This updated take on the medicine ball allots for individual training, allowing you to practice throwing as well as catching without requiring a work out partner.

Overall : Go for it

The cost, durability, and functionality of this product adds up to a good deal.

We recommend : Checking back in daily and weekly for new reviews on supplements, routines, life, and style tips. 

This Spring we are going to be doing a lot of work involving Medicine Balls and different good alternatives to traditional cardio!
