What to Compare Before Buying
- Weight: This version is 5kg. Compare that with the level you want for your training.
- Surface feel: The ball has a textured, dimpled finish. Check whether that suits how firmly you want to hold it during lifts and throws.
- Training space: It is intended for slamming and other resistance exercises, so think about the floor and wall area you have available.
- Weight range: The range includes other weights from 3kg to 10kg. If 5kg is not the right level, a different weight may be a better fit.
Using It in Practice
The ball is suited to exercises such as overhead throw-downs, crunches, side twists, burpees and squats. A simple home setup is to keep enough clear space for controlled repetitions and, where needed, use a shock-absorbent mat for extra floor protection.
Before You Decide
Confirm that 5kg is the right weight for your workout plan. Check the no-bounce design, PVC shell and sand fill against how you intend to train. If you need a different weight, the range includes other Core Balance slam balls.
