Gin Miller’s Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout introduces a new challenge in strength and conditioning with this dynamic workout. Designed to optimize benefits in cardio –respiratory fitness and reactive strength, this circuit interval format maximizes results in one time-efficient workout. This total-body workout alternates short bursts of easy-to-follow cardio (marches, jogs, runs and jacks) with integrated exercises that work multiple muscle groups all at the same time.

This program, specifically designed to improve overall fitness conditioning, adds a new variable in resistance training with the addition of light to moderate medicine balls. Adding the dynamics of medicine balls not only improves strength, coordination, and balance, but also targets all the muscles of the core. This type of reactive training leads to better posture and every-day function – and a firmer, tighter mid-section.

As with any new program or training mode, it is important to view the safety guidelines and watch the workout in its entirety prior to attempting these exercises. Anyone considering this type of training – including but not limited to pregnant women and especially those with a history of back, hip, spine, or any other joint issues – should consult with their health care provider to determine if this program or training is appropriate for their fitness goals.
