3. Using a medicine ball to workout puts your core muscles into a higher gear. The extra weight of the medicine ball will fire up your core regardless of the type of exercise you do. This results in an effective full body workout that burns calories and improves strength quickly over time.

4. A medicine ball workout, when performed properly, builds strength in one's upper back, core muscles, triceps, glutes, quads and hamstrings.

5. Every squat, twist and throw done with a medicine ball is not like any other exercise as it is a movement towards burning more calories. This is so because the more muscles you engage, the more oxygen you need. And more oxygen results in more calories being burned.
