Medicine balls

[Joyseau]

I was looking over the second video, "Beyond Burpees The Encore", and I was thinking about one of the last manuevers, the warrior burpee. I'm a huge fan of the medicine ball and was thinking that this exercise could be even more effective if we used a medicine ball (or whatever kind of ball, soccer or basketball or whatever) instead of the small statue. That way we have a little bit of a more labile surface, encouraging stabilization throughout the body. That way we can hit some of those core stabilizers everyone loves so much. What other ideas for medicine balls do we have?

The ideas for medicine ball are never ending.

Almost every exercise for the mid-section can be done with M.B implemented. In the matter of fact we are concidering making a medicine ball video. Just not sure what the theme should be? Total body, specific body part, stability, balance, range of motion, speed, endurance, strength, flexibility, specific skill(s) and so on.

Neverending, indeed! Just a few off the top of my head...
Pushups with both hands on 1 m.b...
Pushups with each hand on a m.b...
Pushups with 1 hand on 1 m.b., explosively pushup and switch hands...
You could put any of these in the pushup part of a burpee...
And either leave the m.b. on the ground or pick it up with you and press overhead...
Or throw it up as high as possible, then catch and continue your burpees...
Or do burpee, throw ball into wall in front of you...
Or on jumping phase of burpee, slam m.b. down in front of you, catch and repeat...

Anybody else wanna add some?
