Get stronger for basketball with the Med Ball 200.

If you’re looking for a simple workout to get stronger for basketball, here’s a fantastic one.

It’s called the Med Ball 200 and the workout was featured in an issue of Men’s Health.

The reason the circuit is loved by many basketball players is it doesn’t require super-heavy weights or explosive movements. 

It uses a light medicine ball. And instead of powerlifting the heaviest weight like you're Arnold Schwarzenegger prepping to fight predators, it gets you to lift the (relatively) light ball a lot of times to work your conditioning for basketball.

Some of the movements done in the circuit are woodchoppers, halos, squat-to-press, and Russian twists for 20 reps.

Additionally, it's a staple for the UNC men’s basketball team because it’s a full-body workout that focuses on stamina, mobility and core strength.

Here are some benefits of the workout:

• It reduces the chances of injury because of the light weight.
• It’s a great warmup for on-court and off-court work.
• It can improve mobility while strengthening muscles.
