DIY: How To Make Your Own Medicine Ball
It's Fall season which means lovely weather to take your workout outside at a local park! In today's blog I list the steps on how to make your own medicine ball to take with you anywhere to get that workout in.
What you will need:
- Old Basketball, Playground ball, etc. (depending on what size medicine ball you want)
- Fine grain sand (sand made for a children's sand box, can be purchased at Home Depot)
- Funnel
- Gorilla Tape (only tape that will be durable)
-Decorative Duct Tape (optional to add your own style)
- Pointy tool to poke a whole ie: leatherman, screwdriver, etc.
-Scale to measure how heavy the Medicine Ball is
How to make the Medicine Ball:
Step 1: Get the old ball and create a small hole into the ball this will allow you to insert the funnel for the sand
Step 2: Insert the funnel into the ball and slowly pour the sand in
Step 3: Fill the ball with sand all the way to your liking, and you can weigh it on a scale to get exact measurements of how much it weighs.
Step 4: Patch up the hole with Gorilla Tape, and proceed to wrap the whole ENTIRE ball with Gorilla Tape tightly, so you cannot see any of the old ball.
Note: Gorilla Tape is the only tape that is durable to endure the ball slams and weather conditions you may use the medicine ball in.
Step 5: (Optional) Add your own decorative Duct tape over the Gorilla Taped Medicine Ball to add style! (Of course I added Steelers Tape cause that's my team!)
That's it, 5 Simple Steps to create your own medicine ball! When you make your own medicine ball post a picture of it on social media and tag me in your posts, so I can see your creations.
