Taking inspiration from Sharvari Wagh’s routine, here’s all you need to know about medicine ball benefits:

1. A medicine ball is a weighted ball that is used for all kinds of exercises. These balls are designed to build strength and coordination. These medicine balls are available in many materials like rubber, nylon, leather and rubber.

2. Some of the common exercises performed while using a medicine ball are push ups, one leg squats, overhead squats, side lunges, medicine ball slams, medicine ball Russian twists, etc.

3. Using a medicine ball to workout activates your core muscles more. The added weight of the medicine ball will activate your core no matter what exercise you do. This leads to an effective full-body workout that burns calories over time and improves strength faster.

4. Medicine ball workouts, when performed correctly, build strength in a person's upper back, core muscles, triceps, glutes, quads and hamstrings.
