What if I Get Bored With Sandbag Training Workouts?

November 13, 2007

Sandbag Training is great for your cardio workouts, strength training, weight loss and toning, plus range of motion exercises! Can you get bored with all of this? No way! There’s so much you can do you’ll never run out of ideas. However if you want more, use your sandbag and just add a few great notions to the mix.

Let’s just add one great way to change up your workouts-get outside. Nothing is better than working out in the fresh air and sunshine. You hear the birds singing to you, and here come the dogs to help with your workout. Enjoy the spring time and its warm weather.

Two major points to consider when you think about fitness:

Always try to take your training to the next level. Strive each training session to do a little more.
You’ve got to have variety in your workouts. You never want to get stagnate in your training. Mix it up.

Variety will help with above and help you get back on track. Let’s look at how to do this.

“Ok, what do I do now that I’m outside”?

Here are a few of the great tools to use along with your sandbag;

Medicine balls-they’re always fun to throw around
Sled Dragging
Clubbells (a weighted bat)
kettlebells (these look like a bowling ball with a handle)
Weight vest training

Let your imagination run wild!

“Well that sounds good, but I don’t have a lot of time to be outside during the day.”

Here’s a thought-do mini workouts through out the day. During your break time, go outside and do some jumping jacks, squats, lunges, climb the stairs, etc. Heck, go out of your office door, take a left and walk for five minutes then turn around & come back. There is ten minutes of quick exercise. Nowhere does it say you can only exercise once per day.

“Ok, I do have the weekend but there’s usually other things to do, my ‘honey do’ list. What can I do?”

Easy. Do some yard work. If you’re like me my yard can always use some help.

Clean it up.
Fill up a wheelbarrow and walk with it.
Carry wood across the yard over your head, then stack it up.
Dig a hole then fill it up.
Rake leaves.
Build a fence or a wall or whatever you can think of.

The best thing you can do is to get active. Add to your training program or routine. Change things up so you do not become idle. You want to be a “doer”.

Getting outside is one of the best ways to charge up your exercising. Mother Nature is giving us a great view. Use it to your advantage in your training. I think you’ll enjoy the difference.
