what else do you do other than having somebody throw it at your stomach?

plyometric exercises (throwing the ball with different variations like side throw, chest pass, overhead throw, slams, etc.)

core work

pushups off the ball (for stability)

power-overs

LOTS of different things to do with one little medicine ball.

I like using a brick wall and use the medicine ball to simulate jabs and right hands.

I like to play games such as dodge ball and kick ball with them.
