Sandbag Lunges

Legs & Glutes

Sandbag Lunges combine a traditional lunge with an unstable load held on the shoulders or in a bear-hug position. The uneven weight distribution adds a significant core and balance challenge.

How to

  1. Hold the sandbag on your upper back/shoulders or hug it against your chest.
  2. Step forward with one foot, lowering your back knee toward the ground.
  3. Your front knee should track over your toes, not caving inward.
  4. Push through your front heel to stand and bring your feet together.
  5. Alternate legs with each step, keeping an upright torso throughout.
