Using an adjustable sandbag for workouts has several benefits, including:
-
Dynamic resistance: Sandbags build dynamic resistance as your body works hard to stay stable against the weight of an asymmetrical load, which works your entire body
-
Multi-planar movements: Sandbag training involves multi-planar movements, which means it works your body in different directions and angles, leading to a more well-rounded workout
-
Core and muscle stability: Sandbag training helps build strong stabilizer muscles, including your core, which is often the most important stabilizer for big exercises
-
Grip strength: The awkward, unstable, off-balanced nature of a sandbag places stress on your body in a very different manner, which helps improve grip strength
-
Real-world sports training: By training with sandbags, you bring a different kind of strength that relates better to the real world and sports
-
Strengthening of torso and hips: Lifting and carrying sandbags will strengthen the torso and the hips, which can facilitate a greater transfer of strength through the body in other liftings or movements
-
Engages smaller fixator and neutralizer muscle groups: Sandbag training engages smaller fixator and neutralizer muscle groups, which are not easily engaged in traditional weight training, leading to overall gains when compared to static training
