We’ve all wanted to try something new in the gym, but whether it’s inexperience or convenience, we usually go back to the workouts we are use to. Slam balls are very similar to medicine balls and are an effective and simple way to spice up your routine. Grab a slam ball to replace dumbbells or kettlebells for some added weight and resistance and gain some real power and strength for a dynamic full-body workout.
