Home made gym equipment | Medicine ball

Super easy way to build a cheap medicine ball.

Supplies needed:

  • Basketball (~$20)
  • Sand or pea gravel (50lbs for ~$5) 
  • 1 roll gorilla tape ($8)
  • Scissors 
Total cost ~$33 for a 30ish pound medicine ball.

How to:
Make an incision around the air valve of the basketball. Try to make the piece you cut out a single piece so it's easier to tape back later.

Create a funnel (I used a piece of cardboard) and slowly add your sand/pea gravel. It helps to use a small cup to transfer the sand/gravel instead of pouring direct from the bag.

After the ball is filled up, replace the piece you cut out to its original spot or as close as possible. Use the entire roll of gorilla tape around the ball.
