मेडिसिन बॉल व्यायाम
For throws, slams and rotational power work — the one job a dumbbell cannot do, because you can release it.
What this kit can actually load
3हालचाली
Covering 3 muscle groups as prime movers and 2 of the 9 movement patterns — all of it usable in a front room.

How the medicine ball list is built
- Start from the joint action, not the sensation. A muscle is credited when the action it produces is the one being resisted.
- Credit exactly one role per exercise: prime mover, or synergist and stabiliser. Nothing is listed twice.
- Rank by technical demand on a 1–5 scale — how much practice the movement needs to be done safely, not how hard the set feels.
- Credit a movement to a piece of kit only when that kit supplies the resistance — a bench you lie on is not the load.
- Attach the published MET category so the energy figure on every card traces back to the same table.

Programmes that run on this alone
The questions that come up on the floor
What can I train with medicine ball?
3 exercises on this site use medicine ball, covering 3 muscle groups as prime movers and 2 of the 9 movement patterns. 0 of them are compound movements, which is the number that decides whether a piece of equipment can carry a whole programme on its own.
Is medicine ball enough to build muscle?
On its own it covers 3 muscle groups, so it is best used alongside something else rather than as a whole programme. Combine it with bodyweight work or one other implement and the coverage becomes complete.
Can I use medicine ball at home?
Yes — this is home-scale equipment. For throws, slams and rotational power work — the one job a dumbbell cannot do, because you can release it.
How do I make medicine ball exercises harder over time?
Add weight in the smallest increment available whenever you reach the top of the target rep range with clean technique, and keep the range of motion and the tempo identical as the load climbs.
Muscle roles follow standard kinesiology references and are described by joint action rather than by gym convention — see how this site is built. Energy figures are derived from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. Every reference is named and dated on the sources page. General information only — not medical or coaching advice. Load, form and progression should be adjusted to your own experience and any injury history. When in doubt, get coached in person.
