    What's the story

    Sandbag training is a highly adaptable and beneficial way to build strength and endurance.

    Unlike conventional weights, the instability of sandbags provides a unique challenge, engaging muscles in ways that traditional equipment can't.

    This workout is suitable for all fitness levels, and is an excellent option for beginners looking to enhance their physical well-being.

    Choosing equipment

    Start with the right sandbag

    Choosing the right sandbag is key to a safe and effective workout.

    For beginners, you should start with a weight that is challenging but manageable.

    A good guideline is to pick a sandbag that is around 10% of your body weight.

    Make sure it has handles, they will help you hold it while doing various exercises.

    If you feel pain beyond the typical muscle soreness, it's time to take a break or reduce the weight of the sandbag.

    Remember, the goal is to make progress through consistency, not to rush or push through pain.

    By following these guidelines, beginners can safely reap the health and fitness benefits of sandbag training.
