Top 10 Sandbag Workouts and Gear

Check out this list of sandbag workouts and some gear to help you out.

We like this style of workout as it uses basic gear. You can even hike or run to a local beach with an empty sandbag – fill it up and get to work.

If you have a workout please post it in comments below.

Question: What is a good sandbag to use for workouts?

We like the GORUCK sandbag as it is really well made and comes with a warranty.

You can buy a sandbag for cheaper but you will get what you pay for and it will fall apart.

This has been used and abused and has stood the test.

Question: What is another sandbag that gets good reviews and will not fall apart?

Check out the The Ultimate Sandbag Strength Package. “These bags are built tough, the inner bags don’t leak sand.

We change the inner bags throughout our workouts and don’t have any issues. I don’t see these bags ripping or tearing.
