4 lb Basketball Looking Weight???

[Kellyana]

My roommate has this ball, just smaller than a basketball, that weighs 4 pounds. I've looked around and I can't find what you should use it for. It's firm, not squishy. Anyone have one, know what it's really called, and what I could do with it? I need to add some strength training to my treadmill routine. Will this thing help?

keetle ball, or medicine ball?

No clue, that's what I'm asking. It looks like a basketball only smaller.

 

[BobbyK1]

did you type it in google?

It's probably a medicine ball.

Medicine ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So what can I do with it? Wiki is blocked here so I can't see the link.

did you type it in google?

Yes, after Kara posted the name, but I didn't find WHAT to do with it after I googled it. Just gave me a bunch of sources to buy it from.

I posted the name of it too.... You said you didnt know what it was called, I said maybe its this... and you said i have no idea... so i was asking if you looked at my suggestion to see if it was it

BobbyK if you want me to thank you, then THANK YOU but you didn't really quite answer the question. I'm not sure I understand your post above or what you feel I did wrong. FWIW, a kettlebell is a weight with a handle and they use them on TBL. I mentioned nothing about a handle.

I googled medicine ball but I can't find uses for it, just places to buy. I'm asking not only what it is that I have but what can I do with it.

A little basic searching will get you a lot.
