Medicine ball HMS NK08 8 kg, 286 mm diameter, black/red

HMS NK08 is an 8 kg medicine ball with a 286 mm diameter, finished in black and red for clear visual identification. Designed for strength, core and power training, this medicine ball is suitable for dynamic exercises such as throws, slams, partner drills and a variety of functional fitness movements. The durable rubber construction and slightly textured surface provide grip and resistance to repeated impact and abrasion, making the ball suitable for use in gyms, studios and home workout spaces.

Advantages

The NK08 combines solid weight distribution with a compact 286 mm diameter to enable controlled rotations and explosive movements. Its rough surface enhances grip during wet or sweaty conditions and reduces slippage in high-intensity sets. Built from impact-resistant rubber, the ball withstands repeated slams and partner exchanges while maintaining shape and performance over time.

Suitable for

• Medicine ball throws and slams
• Core strengthening and rotational exercises
• Partner tosses and functional fitness circuits
• Rehabilitation and mobility drills

Key specifications

• Weight: 8 kg
• Diameter: 286 mm
• Material: impact- and abrasion-resistant rubber
• Surface: textured for improved grip
• Color: black and red
• Intended use: throws, slams, partner work, functional training

How to use

Select exercises appropriate for your training goals — for power work use explosive chest or overhead slams, for conditioning include timed partner tosses or circuit stations, and for stability work perform rotational throws and core presses. Hold the ball with both hands for slams and throws, brace the core and use the hips to generate force for safe and effective movement. Use a suitable surface for slams and allow a stable landing area to protect flooring and the ball.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the ball before each session for visible damage. Use the 8 kg NK08 for progressive overload by increasing repetitions, repspeed or exercise complexity rather than sudden large weight jumps. Clean the surface with mild soap and water, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or sharp objects, and store in a dry place to maintain material integrity.
