"  It&amp;#039;s that time of year again when you&amp;#039;re ready to tone up those abs and get into shape because the beach and pool are calling! Want a fast and effective way to squeeze in a workout? Use a medicine ball for strength training and you&amp;#039;re guaranteed to look and feel fabulous in no time. If you want to add the device to your home gym, they&amp;#039;re inexpensive\u2014ranging from only $15-$30. Or, if you&amp;#039;re working out at the local gym, there are sure to be a few in the free weight area. Using this weighted equipment during workouts will improve your core muscles and tone your upper body and abs. On June 21, WD began our medicine ball workout series featuring a new move every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (have a look at Wednesday&amp;#039;s circuit workout here.) To conclude the series, check out the video below featuring an eHowFitness instructor demonstrating basic crunches, rotation exercises and more. And, make sure to check back Monday at noon for our new workout series!       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
