Harbinger Weighted Ball : Not Your Average Medicine Ball

I've used a lot of different medicine balls in my workouts, and my Harbinger 4 lb. weighted ball is one of my favorite pieces of fitness gear.

It's just the right size to grip with both hands, and its squishy surface allows me to grip the ball securely. I use it several times a week for core training exercises like the reverse wood chop and the seated rotation with medicine ball. It's also ideal for incorporating into a squat because it's so easy to hang on to.

Bottom LIne: This handy ball has helped me add a lot of effective exercises to my workouts.--E. D. (May '05)
