And when you need more challenge? Do more reps!

“I’ve been trying to build a very budget conscious home gym…” says one thrifty shopper. “This is a heavy rubber ball. You can slam it, use it as a medicine ball, or as a wall ball…. The rubber is grippy enough to hold and isn’t slippery. It feels like it has sand in it, which has a nice feel because it doesn’t want to roll much. It feels very durable and is about the size of a basketball, and feels very sturdy.”
