Sand Ball Workouts

We really like the sand ball as a workout tool.

It is incredibly simple and in a pinch – easy to make.

Check out these videos, tips, exercises and info on the sand ball workouts.

If you dont have a sand ball you can make your own DIY.

I just used a plastic trash bag and filled it with 10 lbs of dirt and sand. I tried to get all of the rocks out of the dirt so that they did not punch through the bag.

I then wrapped the ball with duck tape. It was not too pretty but it worked. In a few weeks when I save up the money I will buy a proper sand ball for my home gym. Until then I have a good backup with the DIY sand ball.

Check out the video below on how we made our second sand ball (we changed it up a little).

If you don’t have the time or energy you can always just buy a sand ball. That way if your not into building your own gear – you can just start working out.

Now that you have the gear lets put it to work. The sand ball is very portable so you can take it most anywhere. Check out this workout at the beach.

A close friend to the sand ball is the stone. Check out these stone lifts to build strength with lifting an odd object. You can find a stone at a local landscaping contractor store. Or you can pour your own with a mold and concrete. I met an athlete and coach who explains that we dug a hole about 18 inches deep and poured concrete. He then dug up the DIY Stone made of concrete.
