    I detest the slam ball. I truly do,. BUT the exercise I detest the most work well for me. Works well when you're in mental contemplation of something. I find this exercise works very well when you're trying to figure out some things in your head.. at least for me. Thank you again for a comprehensive tutorial

      Yeah i feel that... i did 6 weeks at a fitness camp and lost 50lbs i incorporate almost everything into my workouts at home aside from the slam ball and i dont see the results in my arms core and leg that i want. GRANTED we also spent seven hours in the gym everyday and im only doing like 1½ but im taking that into consideration. The slam ball seems to be crucial UGH! ALSO if your curious about the fitness program its called live in fitness. Give them a search!
