TRX Slam Ball ($27 and up)

Maybe you plan to use your medicine ball for exercises like Russian twists and mountain climbers, to avoid disrupting neighboring apartments. But if you intend to slam the ball against the wall or floors of your garage, "it's essential to select a ball that is specifically designed for these high-impact exercises," Holland says. In this case, opt for a "slam ball," and you'll know it was made expressly for this purpose. This TRX slam ball was designed to be bounce resistant with a textured rubber outer surface inspired by tire treads.
