How To Make A Homemade Medicine Ball CHEAP~!

[teresadoyle]

Awesome!!! Thanks!!

[koz1769]

@traviswoolen close to 45 lbs for the big one and around 10 for the small

[ChukMane14]

will it work if only cover the hole with tape and not tha whole ball ?

[Vlaxerman343]

this isn't medicine people, this is to make people taste their own medicine

[diggy75]

Fantastic!

[koz1769]

@noodles356 yes you can, gorilla tape is super super strong. It may wear down after a while but you can just make another one for almost free cuz you will already have the supplies!

[TheBTHONG]

greeeeaaaaat video

[koz1769]

@TheBTHONG thank you!

[rmsolympic1]

Nice video - very clear, simple - and lo-cost. Is there a way to make these with a handle attached to them? Also, can they be painted?

[koz1769]

@rmsolympic1 i wouldnt trust a handle, I bought a kettlebell for cleans and things that require a handle. I paid around $100 for a 35 lb bell but it was well worth it

[Paganwarrior2000]

@rmsolympic1 There's other ways you can construct a Kettlebell and it would be safer.

thanks for the video i just made one and i used a rubber playground ball instead of a basketball and it weighs 18lbs

[MrCosmickamote]

great idea bud....thanks

[smcneal057]

Thanks for the information. I made my first one today and it weighs 25lbs. Thanks a lot.

[nible1996]

shit in the ball

[MrJm89074]

thanks man! i was doing some spring cleaning the last few days and came across an old withered, deflated, and otherwise useless basketball of mine in an outdoor patio closet. already had a bunch of duct tape, etc. so all the med-ball conversion cost me was about $4 at home depot for 50# of pea gravel!

[sonne5]

Can you use a different ball? Basketballs aren't much cheaper than a medicine ball, itself.

[SadegoGG]

@sonne5

I'm sure you could use any type of ball you want as long as it's big enough to get up to the weight you want. Good video if you need a lot of medicine balls, might I add.

[johnnycake020]

dat some bad ass stuff my man! tanks for postin, might get onto that one brah

[koz1769]

@johnnycake020 glad you liked it, mine has lasted since I made this video over 2 yrs ago and I use it daily, dont forget to subscribe and rate 5 appreciated stars! THANKS!

[J0hnFreeman]

how much did those medicine balls weigh total?

[koz1769]

about 30 lbs.

[silverback7734]

I do the same thing essentially with juggling balls. I only make two slits and the lift up the triangular section and insert the funnel. This allows me to close it up and seal it in such a way that my cut is nearly invisible. I then use epoxy to seal the slit.

[liamholt2k9]

coool im gona try this =D

[shadowcar88]

I just rememberd I happen to have a basket ball!

now all I need is pea gravel and tape!!! ( and some thing I can fold to put the pea gravel in)

thanks for the vid!!! :D

[koz1769]

glad you liked the video

[nchiplin]

Good job buddy, I did this with just two cuts, like half a square about 1.5 inches long each and just stuck a piece of cardboard like you did and filled it. Basically the exact same but I didn't trust the big hole !

[Simplymatt937]

I Just Made Mine It Weighs 27.4 Pounds I Used All Purpose Sand For Mine Since I Couldnt Find Any Pea Gravel At The Time And That Gorilla Tape Holds Up Perfect

[koz1769]

thanks for the comment, enjoy your workout!

[2trunks]

it looks like it gets slippery when sweaty ?

[koz1769]

sometimes it does, just use chalk and keep a towel handy. When its sweaty it helps with your grip, what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.

[nikolatesla08]

GRIP TAPE!!

[adriang0]

Thanks for the vid. I put two 5 pound weights in mine and filled it with dirt. I used like 3 rolls of cheap duct take and its perfect. Thanks.

[manvir187]

Are u sure the big square hole u made will hold together?...for example if u smash the medicine ball on the ground several times as an exercise, will the sand not come out??....im only asking because i have seen other methods of making medicine balls which require using puncture repair kits which i would rather not use....please reply A.S.A.P as i will be trying to make my own medicine ball soon....p.s. thanx for the video!

[koz1769]

Mine has held up since I made the video, Gorilla Tape is EXTREMELY STRONG, if you are nervous about it just don't make the hole as big and use a lot of tape. You will notice how strong the tape is when you handle it, it's extremely sticky and adhesive. Thanks for the inquiry and Good Luck~!

[manvir187]

Hey thanx for the reply!, i will make a smaller flap. One more thing, can i use Duct tape instead of Gorilla tape? Cuz im from the UK and i have never seen Gorilla tape before. Do you think Duct Tape will hold up?....Im really basic at this kinda stuff. im basically a noob lol

[koz1769]

duct tape should work, just use a lot of it, even if it does not, you will only lose about $4 haha

[razzmyster]

cool what kind of exercises can u do with it?

[koz1769]

Just you tube medicine ball exercises thanks, I'll post some of the exercises I do with it later on.

[catchfree84]

is pea gravel better than sand or does it matter

[koz1769]

Sand can leak out easier and Pea Gravel is a little heavier.

[ascencio11]

where can u find gorilla tape?

[koz1769]

I got mine from Tractor Supply Company, but I'm sure Lowes or Home Depot Carries it :)

[CleverDjembe]

Why do you say "you wanna get 2 strips of gorilla tape" instead of "get 2 strips of gorilla tape" etc? That just feels redundant.

Anyway, great guide to making an affordable med ball :)

[bavo123]

this is probably a stupid question but... Does it still dribble? I wanna know, cause I wanna train my handles

[koz1769]

no it will not... Sorry

[billiardjay]

Wonderful, thanks for posting this.

Gotta get me some gorilla tape.
