The unstable surface of the Ultimate Sandbag challenges your muscles more efficiently and effectively than dumbbells, kettlebells, and other weight training tools because your core is engaged throughout the duration of every exercise and the bag can rest flush against the body comfortably for added challenge.
Lunges:Put the sandbag on your shoulders and lunge forward, lowering the back leg down as low as you can in a 90 degree angle without compromising form, making sure your front knee stays behind your ankle. Alternate legs. Do 2 or 3 sets of 12 reps each leg. When starting out with sandbags, the intensity is greater so you may want to do less reps in each set.
Overhead Presses:Grab the sandbag keeping your hands shoulder distance apart and slowly raise into an overhead press, extending your arms straight without locking your elbows. Raise and lower starting at shoulder height. Aim for 3 sets of 12.
