CAHere are my tips on sandbag lunges 🙋🏽♀️
Feel like you guys enjoy these reels so I’ll keep them coming 🤓😃
Of course these are my personal tips, and everyone has different preferences, so do what works for you! Sandbag lunges feel really easy to me, prob because I’m so short and I’m pretty quad dominant too, so that definitely helps!
1️⃣ Long strides mean fewer total lunges to cover 🤷🏽♀️ However only do this if you have good balance. Ive noticed huuge improvements since I planned single leg bar bell split squats in my training program.
2️⃣ I think ill get some haters on this one but I find the mid step to be a big waste of time/energy and breaks my focus/rhythm 🤡 yes my legs feel like jelly on the run post-lunges, but after a minute or two the feeling is gone (thanks creatine).
3️⃣ Looking slightly forward and down stabilizes your posture and helps balance. If you look too high, the sandbag pulls your torso backward; too low and you round forward.
4️⃣ I like to inhale as i lower into the lunge, exhale as i drive up. It avoids breath-holding under the sandbag and also helps my pacing.
5️⃣ Core is sooo important on this one. Tightening your core locks your torso in place, so the bag doesn’t bounce or twist you off-line.
You guys have any other tips, or agree/disagree with mine? I’m all ears 👂👀
