Do you have a leather medicine ball? Have you ever tried exercising with a leather medicine ball? Do you know how many exercises you can do with a medicine ball?

Nothing conditions your core – or your reflexes – better than 15 pounds of flying cowhide, and the real leather on this ball amounts to tough love after a few dozen ab slams.

But the beauty of a leather medicine ball is its versatility. Think about it: You have the medicine-ball twist and the single-leg twist, the medicine-ball lunge, the medicine-ball pushup and the medicine-ball hammer throw. Not enough?

There is also the over-the-back medicine-ball throw and the single-arm throw, the squat throw and, when all is said and done, the throw-up throw, which usually indicates your workout is over. A typical leather medicine ball is available in 12- and 15-pound options. [source: M&F]
