sandbags?

[98shadow]

was checking out some circuit training videos on Utube last
night and ran across some sandbag training. Anyone ever use these and where did you get them or can you make
them

Seems like it would be fun

this will be the style training i follow for the entire month of december (as I am home for the holidies from school)

I use real sandbags that I get from the hardware store (also use horse feed and mulch bags)---they give me a pretty good deal on the busted ones (which I fix by wrapping entire bag in duck tape which will protect it during my training as well)

I usually will get 7-12 bags and do squats, lunges, curls, running hills, military presses with them. I'm looking into getting a big tire to play around with too and somehow incorporate the bags into an exercise with that.

they are a great workout---i think there is actually a sandbag fitness website (google it) where you can check out different exercises to do with them.

have fun
