Core Strength........your centre of power!
24 Mar 2010 . BY Dean Fox
Medicine ball work outs are being rediscovered by athletes and fitness experts everywhere. It is one of the oldest forms of strength and conditioning training methods. A medicine ball helps build core strength, tightens abdominals and improves joint integrity. The medicine ball also provides resistance through a full range of motions. They can be integrated into any programme to develop muscular endurance, core strength and upper-body power. Medicine balls are extremely versatile and fun to use, making boring exercises more dynamic and effective.

From a functional fitness aspect, the ability to generate strength and power is a very important component for success in many sports, particularly in those involving explosive movements. To achieve this certain medicine ball exercises can be used as part of a plyometric training program. It can be really effective if a program includes exercises that match the pattern of movement of the particular sport.

JORDAN medicine balls are commercial quality with a premium textured rubber surface for excellant grip. They have rubber weighted centres for good balance and are colour coded for ease of weight identification, perfect for circuits and functional training. Prices start at £ 10.22 x vat for a 1kg ball.

JORDAN are offering the following set of medicine balls at a special offer price of £ 420.00 x vat. The set comprises of 3 each of 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, and 7kg medicine balls and a horizontal storage rack with an attractive silver frame and lockable wheels. This offer is for a limited period only. For the full range of JORDAN functional fitness equipment visit www.jordanfitness.co.uk
