Sandbag Lunge

How to do it

Hoist the sandbag onto one shoulder or hug it against the chest, feet together to start.
Step forward into a lunge, lowering the back knee toward the floor as the front quadriceps absorb the load.
Keep the torso upright and braced against the shifting weight of the sandbag as it settles.
Drive through the front heel to return to standing, keeping the sandbag's position steady rather than letting it slide.
Exhale as you press up and inhale on the way down, keeping a controlled tempo throughout.
Common fault: avoid twisting the torso to compensate for the sandbag's off-center load.
