How to follow Sandbag Fitness
The premise of sandbag fitness is simple. You practice the exercises, follow the workouts and record your performance. You consistently try to improve your technique in each of the exercises and, if necessary, try to move from a beginners version to the gold-standard or advanced version.
You should also record all of your perfromances in the workouts. Over time, you'll be looking to improve these. This could be a faster time for a set workout, progressing to a heavier sandbag, adding more repetitions or simply improving your technique.

Get Started!
Don't waste your money on a high tech sandbag that costs £100 (insert appropriate currency here) - I predominantly use a sandbag that costs £1.50, apply some duck tape and I'm ready to go!
This, coupled with some imagination, creates the ability to develop some seriously high level conditioning. Plus, the sandbag is an odd, awkward object to lift. This helps to develop, dare I say it, some 'functional' fitness.
The idea behind Sandbag Fitness is that anyone, anywhere can improve their ability to move and be healthy. There are some great resources out there for garage-style fitness and we prefer to rub shoulders with them rather than the big-box commercial gyms "where dreams and goals go to die".
