Qigong and physical culture enthusiasts can benefit from using a medicine ball when doing exercises. There are many routines developed by Taijiquan and Qigong masters using a medicine ball.
Medicine Ball Training and Exercises: Bibliography, Links, Resources. Prepared by Mike Garofalo. A general introduction to the use of medicine balls in exercise programs.
I developed my own medicine ball routine called: Magic Pearl Qigong.
Magic Pearl Qigong, Part I, Movements 1-8. Instructions, Bibliography, Links, Handouts, Resources, Mythological Associations, Lore. Prepared by Mike Garofalo.
Magic Pearl Qigong, Part II, Movements 9-16. Instructions, Bibliography, Links, Handouts, Resources, Mythological Associations, Lore. Prepared by Mike Garofalo.
The Magic Pearl Qigong can be a very vigorous physical culture routine if you increase the weight of the ball and the number of repetitions of each movement.
