I did not hold the word, "unbroken", close to heart. That was not written in the program posted on our gym's website. However, in the hindsight, I wished that I would have held on to that medicine ball. I would have felt better if I had completed the last round of wallballs unbroken.

At first, I wanted to use a 32-kilogram kettlebell for the workout.)
