Expert Advice

The tornado ball is a medicine ball on a rope, and as the name suggests it gives you devastating rotational strength, usually only seen in tropical storms! The tornado ball ranges from 2kg to 5kg. It is an innovative and versatile item of modern training equipment, and may be used for functional resistance training or caveman style anaerobic conditioning. They are brilliant for; 

• 
  Rhythmical stabilization drills, such as figure of eight swings


• 
  Explosive rebounding workouts against a wall, such as explosive reverse woodchops


• 
  Explosive floor core exercise, such as kneeling V Slams


• 
  Dynamic integrated exercise, such as standing lunge and slam

Functional Training Specialists, such as Paul Chek, have been strong proponents of this kind of dynamic rotational training for many years, while more recently back specialist Dr. Stuart McGill has expressed the benefits of using the tornado ball for training the anti-rotator function of the core. The core muscle is forced to stabilize against an aggressive rotary force and collision.

In my experience the Tornado Ball is great for anaerobic conditioning and increasing core function, and also excellent for providing clients with a fun and dynamic alternative to tedious, standard core exercises. Personal Trainers that I have personally tutored have picked up dozens of new clients, just by using the Tornado Ball, people walk past while you are training someone with the Tornado Ball and it has the WOW factor to it. Clients like to do something new and challenging, and the Tornado Ball works them hard, and puts a smile on their face at the same time!
