Sandbag Walking Lunge

The Walking Lunge is a good exercise for building strength in the lower body. By adding a sandbag to it we can use positioning to create more functional strength and conditioning.

Training Technique

• Hold your sandbag at chest height, overhead, in a bear hug or any other variation
• Step forward on one leg
• Bend both knees and drop your bodyweight downwards until both knees are at 90°
• Keep the head and chest high throughout
• Bring your rear leg forwards and step through into another lunge
• Try to avoid resting between lunges - keep the movement smooth and continuous 
• Don’t allow your body to lean forward excessively
