medicine slam ball routine for cardio and conditioning

[xxiv]

I am looking to expand on my conditioning options at home. After the seagull shit incident last week I just don't feel like tire flipping. Its getting cold out so I'd like to bring it indoors for a little while anyways.

this is the site i get my stuff from and this is what i have been eyeballing.

Gymnastic Rings, Kettlebells At FringeSport — Slam Balls

Insight would be appreciated as to what weight ball would be the best investment for a first ball and what exercises are the most fun and beneficial.

When I have to do manual labor using a sledge, moving feed/hay, cutting wood and things like that will leave me sore even thou I workout.

Another lovely consequence of the spreading of CF...

Med ball slams, along with any form of plyometrics and/or Oly lifts, are NOT designed for conditioning purposes. These are designed for maximal force development, which is something you cannot do in a fatigued state.

Where would I find a purpose for slam ball type exercises? What would you suggest to supplement tire flips?

I don't know of anything that can replace a tire flip because they are IMO one of the best full body workouts.
I love functional strength and that's what you get along with a bunch of other benefits from tire flips.

Anything that is used for force development should be done at the beginning of a session and for low reps.

Another annoying phrase: "functional fitness." WTF is that even supposed to mean?

Kettlebell swings. Although it is a versatile tool and it's easy to put together some solid circuits. Single arm over head press, turkish getups, clean's, jerks, etc. That would be my vote. Probably start with a 35# bell.

Rational being: when tire flipping you should be firing your hips, keeping back straight and tight, and working grip. All three of those key attributes can be hit with a kettlebell. And it takes up virtually no space. Plant it in the corner when not in use.

just my 2 cents.

Kettlebell swings.

I'll get one, thanks for the insight.
