Medicine Ball Resistance Training 

Postural strengthening requires spinal erectors and abdominal muscular balance

The main advantage of medicine ball training is that involves the major groups of muscles in exercise.  Thus, with such training, many joints will escape freezing which is the case with barbells and dumbbells training.  

The most majority of those who train with weights with limited knowledge of the physiology of the skeletomuscular system develop freezing joints.  Those are joints that have limited range of motion since they were strengthened by weight training in  particular portion of their range rather than the full range.

You would not have too much difficulty identifying freezing joints.  A weight trainee who walks with a stiff gait at the lower back, tight shoulder swinging, slow knee bending during walking, limited head rotation at the neck region are few of many signs of stiffened joints.  That is the ligaments and tendons have either calcified or shortened due to lengthy limited range training.
