Sandbagging

So the deal was this, a little while ago we were given a punch bag and wall bracket for our little gym-cool-another option and another functional exercise at our disposal.
The trouble was the bag was a little on the heavy side. I'd been to Wickes and picked up two bags of builders sand and plonked them both in. I didnt realise each bag was 35 kilo's and the bracket weighed 4 stone (i like mixing metric and old money!) As a result one of my guys basically punched it off the wall!
We stripped the bag down-halved one bag of sand and refilled it. Bingo-useable punch bag.

So what to do with all this sand?

Sandbags!
Spoke to Rob the Marine about the ways they had for training with sandbags. Rob had also supplied me with some of Ross Enamaits sand bag receipes too.
Ross recommends "double bagging the sand" thus one 5kg bag of sand-in this case a rubble bag, gaffer taped shut, then placed inside another bag, also taped shut. Make five or six of these and stick them in a canvas holdall.
This provides us with an unstable lifting tool-ideal for the functional fitness we love so much.
