According to certified fitness trainer Sameeran Chetia, forcefully throwing and catching weighted objects is an excellent way to enhance upper body power and strength while simultaneously taxing your cardiovascular system.

Wall balls are also a great way to develop total body strength and power as they are known to target major muscle groups including glutes, hamstrings, calves, core, shoulders, biceps, quads, triceps, as well as your cardiovascular system.

Chetia also suggested that the medicine ball is a great way to work on your speed and explosiveness, as well as reaction time.
