What Are Slam Balls?
Slam balls are weighted, rubber-coated exercise balls that are specifically designed for high-impact exercises. Unlike medicine balls, slam balls are made to be thrown forcefully against the ground, without bouncing back. This makes them an excellent tool for explosive movements and whole-body workouts.
Benefits of Using Slam Balls
Incorporating slam balls into your fitness routine can offer numerous benefits, including:
- Full-body workout: Slam balls engage multiple muscle groups, providing a comprehensive workout.
- Improved strength and power: The explosive movements required in slam ball exercises help build muscular strength and power.
- Enhanced cardiovascular fitness: High-intensity slam ball workouts can improve your cardiovascular endurance.
- Increased core stability: Using slam balls challenges your core, promoting stability and balance.
How to Choose the Right Slam Ball
When selecting a slam ball, consider the following factors to ensure you choose the right one for your fitness level and goals:
- Weight: Beginners may start with a lighter ball, around 4-6 kg, while more experienced users might opt for heavier weights, up to 12-15 kg or more.
- Material: Ensure the slam ball is made from durable materials that can withstand repeated slams without damage.
- Grip: Look for slam balls with a textured surface to provide a secure grip during intense workouts.
Popular Slam Ball Exercises
Here are some effective exercises you can perform with slam balls to maximise your workout:
- Overhead Slams: Raise the slam ball above your head and slam it down forcefully to the ground, engaging your core and upper body.
- Russian Twists: Sit on the ground, lean back slightly, and rotate the slam ball from side to side to target your obliques.
- Squat Throws: Perform a squat while holding the slam ball and then throw it forward as you rise.
