GGEETT IINN SSHHAAPPEE
My first encounter with medicine balls was not pretty. It was
freshman year of high school and I was in love. The recipient
of my longing affection, a sophomore and my high school’s
only male member of the pole-vaulting team with a four-o’-
clock shadow, had just nearly escaped a medicine ball that was
hurled at his head by one of the star sprinters. The ball came
rolling into my path on the track. Weak in the knees from
hearing his angelic voice calling for me to toss him the ball
back, not to mention the 200-meter sprints I was running, I
mustered up every ounce of energy I had left and sprinted
towards the ball.
As a die-hard soccer player who only moonlit as a track star to
appease the pestering coach who had noticed me my first day
of high school P.E. my first instinct when I saw that blue ball
rolling across the track was to kick it. I somehow thought in
that split second that my kicking the ball back to the hunky
boy with the long stick was my only hope at escaping teenage
loneliness and the best chance I had at marriage barring an
unlikely arranged marriage. Thoughts of me and him
frolicking through the grass in our matching track shorts and
holding hands at our future’s son’s wedding clouded my vision
as I approached the lethal ball.

With one swift kick I was on my face. The ball, which I now
discovered was heavy and not at all like a soccer ball, had
foiled all of my hopes at impressing my could-have-been-
beau. The romantic bubble burst and my first love faded as
quickly as it came. As I surveyed the damage, bleeding knees,
a road rash shoulder, and a face that looked like I just got run
over by a truck, my better judgment took; how could I marry
someone who was doubled over in laughter at the sight of my
blood?
Yes, my first encounter with a medicine ball is one I, and now
likely you, will never forget. But as I picked myself up off the
track a new obsession took the place of the boy – I would
redeem myself by mastering the medicine ball.

Now my workout weapon of choice, the medicine ball has
helped me train for championship matches, sculpt my body for
my swimsuit modeling days, get back in shape after giving
birth to my son, and, most importantly, helps me torture
friends and clients who pay good money for me to do just that.
And of course I’m not alone. Something this good is bound to
be popular, which is why the medicine ball is a staple in nearly
every home gym and professional trainer’s repertoire. A global
phenomenon since William “Iron Duke” Muldoon, a
nineteenth-century wrestling champion and boxing trainer,
invented the training device, now medicine balls come in a
wide variety of colors and weights, anywhere from two to
sixty pounds.

Take for example actress Stacy Keibler and her trainer, Juliet
Kaska, who use medicine balls to help tone Keibler’s core and
butt. Keibler says that within four weeks of doing these
workouts she feels “more confident” and gets “compliments
on my butt all the time now.”
And then there is superstar Vanessa Hudgens, who used
medicine balls with her Los Angeles trainer Logan Hood to
help create a buff physique for her kick-butt role in the movie
Sucker Punch, a 2011 “Kill Bill meets Inception” fantasy-
action flick directed by Zack Snyder. According to her trainer,
the intense workouts helped to prove to the young actress that
she is “stronger than she imagined.”
Busy? Just had a baby? That is nothing that a kick-butt
medicine ball workout can’t handle. One look at Elisabeth
Rohm’s, the 39-year-old actress, body will convince you. After
giving birth to her daughter the actress turned her exercise
regimen up a notch (including strength moves with weighted
balls) and the result was an impressive 75-pound weight loss
according to Shape magazine.

So whether you are interested in a killer workout at home or a
fun new way to train with a friend, the medicine ball is your
new go-to piece of equipment. It is the only thing standing in
between you and the sexy, sculpted body of your dreams – just
be sure to not kick it.
Have Fun and Get In Shape!
