Gadget Alert for Fitness Lovers
This post is sponsored by MostFit and Fit Approach. All opinions and thoughts are my own. As a fitness professional, I am always looking for fun, new fitness toys to try out. When I heard about the Core Hammer from MostFit, I was intrigued. It looks a little crazy, but it gets the job done!
The piece of exercise equipment itself looks like a sledge hammer with a medicine ball attached to the end. Which isn't far from the truth. It has a handle and is meant to be swung much like a sledge hammer, but with less danger.
Made of an 8 or 12 pound urethane head, this sledge hammer is made to be used without needing a tire. You can slam it anywhere you want. Grass, concrete, gym floor, it's up to you!
Build Your Core
It's not called the Core Hammer for nothing. This tool will work your entire midsection. With an element of instability, you have to really work to keep the hammer in line.
Alternate which side the weighted ball is on to add work to your whole core. Obliques, transverse abdominis and your back all get a great workout.
