For Baby Boomers, it can increase their energy levels while making ordinary activities around the house that much easier. Because every exercise works your midsection while your upper or lower body is working, it also makes for a very efficient, time-saving workout.
Putting long hours in at your job and keeping up with your kids or grandkids' sporting events and activities leaves little time for exercise, causing many to not even bother as they think hours and hours of boring exercise at the gym is required.
Not so!!
When you do strength training exercises that involves your large muscle groups and several joints, you can burn more calories. Go from one exercise to the next with little rest in between and you can get a lot of work done in a short amount of time.
This is the key to losing fat without taking several hours to do so.
Because sandbags have the tendency to shift when you lift them, it involves more work from your core to stabilize your spine, which is a good thing. This type of exercise can increase the strength of your midsection, protecting your low back from potential injury.
It also simulates some of the movements you do around the house or in your work or sport environment. I like to combine sandbag exercises with bodyweight movements like pushups, stepups, and lunges, as well as band and dumbbell exercises.
By combining these exercises in a circuit you can burn lots of calories and keep your metabolism elevated for several hours, which is the real key to burning fat for those with limited time to exercise.
So while they may not be found in most healthclubs, sandbag training is not just for intense, underground types - they work equally well for most Baby Boomers.
Coach Josh Henkin has created some great sandbags that I really enjoy using. Check out his website, Sandbag Exercises.
