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.
Looks like a great workout! It also looks like the walls would have to be pretty strong to absorb the impact. Have you ever seen a health club that wouldn't allow this, like some racquetball courts can't be used for squash?
We've had a few complaints from adjacent courts, but the club's athletic director thinks the game is great so he lets us do it.
