Now that you have a sandbag or something similar, its time to start putting together some routines to do. You want to get together a variety of exercises to target each part of the body. These exercises will not only target your strength but also improve on your endurance as well. Some examples can be found below and searching online will give you some more ideas. 1. You need to work on your legs. Try flipping the bag onto one shoulder and doing a set of squats, take a break and flip the bag onto the other shoulder and do another set. 2. Lift the bag into a bear hug and do a set of squats. An alternative is to pick up the bag to a bear hug and do a squat, then put the bag down and pick it up again for another squat. Do this for repetitions. 3. Lift the bag up to shoulder height, lower yourself into a squat then press the bag over head once while lowered then stand up. 4. Holding the bag in a bear hug do walking lunges. Step forward alternating with each foot going into a lunge, keeping the knee behind the toes. 5. Lift the bag up to your chest, then heaving it out with both hands, make sure you let go of it because you are throwing it. This will target the chest, shoulders and arms. Go pick it up and do it again. 6. You will also get a good grip strength workout from sandbags. They can be frustrating to pick up and your hands and forearms can take a beating which in turn is a good workout itself.
