I've been starting to mess around with the one medicine ball at my complex's fitness center. What are some other exercises that can be done solo. I can't find a label but estimate it's 10-12 lbs

Thanks

    + Squat and toss up, oblique/overhead/backward/ throws, rotations (touch ball to side of left foot and swing up to overhead right side)...

    I've been doing squat and toss and overhead throws but I like the idea of the toe tap with rotation

    i like to do pushups on them because its easier on my wrists than flat on the floor.

    Sit on the floor with your feet slightly elevated (if you can) then holding the ball you twist and touch the ball to the ground on one side and then the other - almost like you're trying to row a boat.

    I found a link that describes it with visuals: http://maltapersonaltraining.com/workout-exercises/russian-twist/

    Plyo push-ups (right hand on ball, pushup, push off floor chest over ball, land with left hand on ball & pushup); two hands on med ball pushup; chops (up & down, angled low to high), stand hold ball chest level & rotate ball side to side fast, lunge with med ball chop,
