How to perform the Full Body Medicine Ball Workout:

This workout is very simple to set up (all you need is a light-to-moderate weight medicine ball) and can be done in any timeframe that you have (anywhere from 15-30 minutes), but should be done at a fast-pace and with minimal rest.

Complete as many rounds as you can in the time you have! (Try for 4-6 rounds!)

As always, be sure to warm up before beginning the first round and cool down and stretch when you are finished.
