AB Health & Fitness, Tullamarine Victoria
July at AB Health & Fitness is all about ramping up the intensity with a dynamic and powerful tool: Slam Balls. Often overlooked in the shadow of traditional weightlifting equipment, slam balls offer a unique and explosive way to enhance athletic performance, build endurance, and release stress. Let’s delve into the world of slam ball workouts and discover how they can invigorate your fitness routine.
What Are Slam Balls?
Slam balls are weighted, durable balls designed for high-impact throwing exercises. Unlike medicine balls, they are typically more robust and have a slightly softer, more grip-friendly surface. Their main purpose is to be slammed against the ground or walls, making them an excellent tool for building power and explosive strength.
Why Slam Balls?
- Develop Explosive Power: Slam ball exercises engage fast-twitch muscle fibers, crucial for developing speed and explosive strength.
- Enhance Cardiovascular Fitness: The intensity of slamming a heavy ball repeatedly makes for a heart-pumping cardio workout, improving overall cardiovascular health.
- Full Body Engagement: From the legs and core to the shoulders and arms, slam ball exercises provide a full-body workout.
- Stress Relief: There’s a certain satisfaction and stress release in the act of slamming a ball with full force.
- Safe and Accessible: With a variety of weights available, slam balls are suitable for all fitness levels and are less intimidating than heavy weights and complex gym equipment.
Incorporating Slam Balls in Our Classes
At AB Health & Fitness, we integrate slam balls into a variety of classes, including circuit training, HIIT, and functional fitness sessions. Our trainers guide members through safe and effective techniques, ensuring everyone from beginners to advanced athletes can benefit.
Popular Slam Ball Exercises
- Slam Ball Slams: The quintessential slam ball exercise, involving lifting the ball overhead and slamming it down with full force.
- Squat Throws: Combining a squat with an overhead throw to engage the lower body, core, and arms.
- Russian Twists: Holding the slam ball while doing Russian twists adds an extra challenge to your core workout.
- Burpees with Slam Ball: Incorporate the slam ball into burpees for added resistance and intensity.
Safety Tips
Ensure you have enough space around you when using a slam ball. It’s also important to focus on form, especially when lifting the ball overhead, to avoid straining your back.
Slam balls are a fantastic way to add intensity, variety, and fun to your workouts.
