Check out the youtube video of my latest dry-land obsession. If you have access to a racquetball or squash court, a good bouncy medicine ball and an equally matched training partner give this a try.
YouTube- CORE BALL aka Medicine Ball Racquet Ball
The rules are simple: the ball must hit above the bottom line (6') and it can't bounce more than once. 3 games to five points is a great workout. We've had some individual points last up to 150 tosses. We play with either a 4 or 6 pound ball. There is a fantastic transference of rotational energy from the legs, through the core, to the uppper body.
Rich,
Do you think this would work hitting the ball against the side of one's house? It looks like there is a lot of force there! I can't see doing this inside my house. The issue I have is time/opportunity. I work a full time job on school hours, and if I swim, I have to fit it in during that time, too. So having a Vasa trainer at home has been terrific; but anything else I add has to be done at home or in the park across the street.
Fort & swimshark: who's winning????!!!
And Fort, I added your squat things, but I can only do them as genie-style squats, no weights or anything. I might try raising my arms next.
