Shortly after first getting our arms around a Dynamax medicine ball we gave our others away. Hoover Ball, “Wall-Ball”, and teaching the clean are three wildly different applications for this remarkable tool.
Coaches Jim Cawley, and Bruce Evans of Dynamax are the original sources for our ten general physical skills required of optimal physical competence:
1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance – the ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
2. Stamina – the ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
3. Strength – the ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units to apply force.
4. Flexibility – the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
5. Power – the ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed – the ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
7. Coordination – the ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movements.
8. Agility – the ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
9. Balance – the ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base.
10. Accuracy – the ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

Nice sunday stroll
The dynamax 10lb ball we have is perfect for tossing around in a group as a way to get ready for the actual workout. There's a new dimension of fun added when warming up by tossing med balls around, plus the whole body is "activated" prior to the first round of whatever it is were doing that day.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we'll get to see how the new 20lb ball feels during the wall ball section of FGB. We'll also be using the 10 as a depth tool to ensure full rom at that station.
Should be fun!
