The medicine ball has been around for many years. Historians have traced the use of weighted balls for therapeutic exercise to ancient times, almost two thousand years ago. More recent history points to the United States military using medicine balls in the 1800’s as a way to strengthen and condition the soldiers. During the 1930’s, President Edgar Hoover started a game known as Hoover Ball. The President and his staff played Hoover Ball each morning with a weighted medicine ball. The object of the game was to throw the weighted ball over an 8 foot high net. The medicine ball gave the President and his staff a fun way to strengthen the arms, legs, trunk, and core.
