Amazon Basics Weighted Medicine Ball for Core Strength, Strength Training, Full-Body Workouts and Balance Exercises

but not necessarily the best for many. The great is that this modestly priced workout ball appears to be a very durable, compact and with excellent traction to its hard surface. If one is looking for a near rigid ball, this is a very good choice for a wide range of exercises. It is, however, perhaps my least favorite of the half dozen or so balls I own and use, which range from full size traditional medicine balls to palm sized weighted balls and unweighted Yoga/Pilates style balls. What I prefer about these other balls is the to greater or lesser extent they will conform to the body surface they are placed against. As a result, I find them more comfortable to use and less dependent on opposing pressure for grip. That is not to say they require less overall gripping strength, but that the grip allows more "squeezing" with the fingers. With those that inflate, one has a greater choice of fine tuning the "give" of the surface of the ball. For others, the slight underfill or more compressible fill provides compliance. One of the balls has a stiffer shell (but still far less rigid than the Amazon Basics) with a sand like filling that shifts to the "bottom" as the balls is moved in space--at first this is rather unappreciated, but with a little familiarity on soon recognizes the value of having to adjust to the moving sand within the ball. So, while the AB ball is a very good value for a very good ball of its type (and why I give it full stars for what it is), I do suggest you consider whether the ball's stiff surface is be best for your workout routines. For me, with several balls to choose from, I find I prefer ones with greater compliance.

This medicine ball is excellent quality! It feels durable and well-made, with a good textured grip that makes it easy to handle during workouts. The weight is evenly distributed, and it’s perfect for strength training, core work, or partner exercises. Simple, sturdy, and reliable—just what you need in a medicine ball. Great value for the price!

Love it. Sturdy and easy to use. It has the perfect bounce so you can throw it down and it not stop dead. Easy to hold and the 6 pounder is great for agility and use when you’re doing more compound exercises. It has a strong rubber smell when you first open and it will dissipate. I don’t notice a smell in my hands anymore. It’s affordable and good quality.

I did weigh this guy, and he is a nice solid 11.9 pounds of rubber and assorted heavy stuff. I have been using this to workout with for a week and am enjoying it, but I'm no gym rat. I fear for the well being of this ball far less than I feared for my past medicine balls that I purchased at Wal-Mart. It is far more sturdy, although many reviews warn against slamming the ball on the ground. I don't plan on doing that. The rubber smell is not strong and the texture is pleasing to look at. I don't like the orange, but I'm going for function over form on this purchase. Overall, it's a "Basic" workout tool. It does what it is supposed to, and in comparison to other medicine balls, it's at a great price point.

It looks just like the way it shows in the description. The grip is strong and has a good shape. The size is perfect for a small place and it’s perfect for me.

Great ball! Perfect for endless exercises. Weight is evenly distributed and has a good feel to it. It has a little bit of a rough feel for a perfect grip that won’t hurt your hand. Also, bounces back nicely, perfect for ball slams. Great price and delivered very quickly. Highly highly recommended!

this is being used for rehabilitation of my 70 yo back. i can't understand the negative reportage about the terrible smell and some kind of greasy covering on the ball. this arrived with a "new car smell" that i personally find appealing; and i saw nothing of an odious covering; the ball arrived in perfect form. it's conceivable that i will also buy - without hesitation - the next higher weight. all-in-all perfect. Thank You Amazon! UPDATE FOR 12 LB. MEDICINE BALL: the first matter that i address are three persistent complaints: 1) that of a powerful stench that permeates the house and the ball needs to be left outside for a time; 2) that of a greasy, tenacious film on the ball that requires intensive treatment with detergent; and 3) that the ball ruptures. as i wrote in the feedback two months ago with the amazon basics 6 lb. medicine ball, there is no smell on the ball other than a mild rubber 'new car smell' which i find appealing and which quickly dissipates. i know nothing about a greasy feel to the ball - the ball in fact allows for a strong grip. the 'physical trainer' - or so he says - complained that the ball ruptured after bouncing it on the pavement as though it were a basketball. a medicine ball is not a basketball nor is it a slam ball. these reviews are in my opinion fake reviews promulgated by people who want you to spend much more for *their* medicine balls. there are weasels who write these damning or glowing reviews for a fee. i am certainly not a medicine ball power user and these two amazon basics medicine balls (6 lb and 12 lb) are perfect for my use. i have no complaints.
