A stability or exercise ball is a ball constructed of soft elastic and filled with air until firm.
Most stability balls range from a diameter of approximately 35 to 85 centimeters (14 to 34 inches).
The stability ball is most often used during core (abdominal, lower back) strength exercises.
Plyometric Boxes increase athletic ability concerning quick movements and explosiveness.
They come in a variety of different heights (12″-48″) and are usually made of metal or wood. Jumping is an explosive movement that engages a lot of fast twitch muscle fibres and burns a ton of calories.
Plyometric boxes are a great addition to any fitness program and a necessary tool for athletes looking for more power output in quick movements and jumping ability

Medicine balls come in a variety of weights from 2lbs. to 30lbs. and can be made of hard plastic, dense rubber or synthetic leather material.
The medicine ball is one of the oldest strength and conditioning tools and is used in a variety of exercises to improve explosive power and increase strength.

The kettlebell is a cast-iron weight resembling a cannonball with a handle used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training.
Sizes may range from 4 pounds (1.8 kg) to 175 pounds (79 kg).
Kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back, legs, shoulders and core and also increase grip strength.
The basic movements, such as the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body at once, and in a way that mimics real world activities such as shoveling or farm work.
