Goodwill Goodness | 7lb. Medicine Ball


A couple of years ago, when I was a person who worked out regularly, I bought this 7 pound medicine ball for $2.99.  I used it from time to time at first, but like all of my exercise equipment it has been collecting dust for too long.


Last weekend Sophia and I played a fun game with the retired medicine ball.  We each sit on big exercise balls across from one another and kick/push the heavy medicine back and forth with our feet. To make it more challenging for myself I try not to get off the ball even when she kicks it far from me.  I stretch, roll and extend as far as I can to reach the ball.  I definitely felt the "workout" in my legs and core after playing for a little bit!  Little by little, I'm going to get back in shape...this can't hurt, right?
