Medicine Balls are an inexpensive piece of gym equipment that you can use a ton of different ways.  It's a great way to change up your current fitness routine, and add some dynamic movements.  If you don't have a medicine ball, most of the movements can be done with any type of ball for the exercises like the pushups and glute raises, and use a dumbbell for the weighted presses and overhead holds.  

Grab your ball and head outside for an awesome workout that torches calories and builds strength!
