A Wall ball  typically refers to a piece of fitness equipment used in functional training and CrossFit workouts. It consists of a weighted ball that is designed for various exercises and throwing against a wall. Wall balls are commonly used to improve strength, endurance, and coordination.

Here's how wall balls are typically used:

Wall Ball Shots: In this exercise, a person stands facing a wall with the wall ball in their hands. They squat down and then explosively stand up, using their legs to generate power, and simultaneously throw the ball against the wall as high as they can. After the ball rebounds off the wall, they catch it and immediately go into another squat, repeating the process for a set number of repetitions.

Wall Ball Sit-Ups: In this exercise, a person holds the wall ball against their chest while performing sit-ups. The ball adds resistance to the movement, making it more challenging for the core muscles.

Wall Ball Lunges: Wall balls can also be used in lunges by holding the ball against the chest or overhead while performing walking lunges. This adds resistance and balance challenges to the exercise.

Wall balls come in various weights, with common options ranging from 6 pounds (2.7 kg) to 20 pounds (9.1 kg) or more. The weight you choose depends on your fitness level and the specific exercise you plan to do. They are typically made with a durable outer covering, such as leather or synthetic materials, to withstand repeated throwing and catching against a wall.

Wall balls are a versatile tool that can be incorporated into a wide range of workouts to enhance cardiovascular fitness, build strength, and improve overall functional fitness.
