Full-body strength.
One bag. No gym.
The Original Sandbag Workout is called The Big 300: 10 moves, 30 reps each, in 10 minutes. It burns up to 492 calories over the course of the day. Shifting sand fires up your core on every rep, which dumbbells can't do.

Questions
What is The Big 300?
The Original Sandbag Workout: 10 moves, 30 reps each, in 10 minutes. That's 300 reps total, and it burns up to 492 calories over the course of the day.
Sandbag vs. dumbbells: which is better?
Sand shifts with every rep, so your core and grip work harder than they do with a fixed weight. It's also softer, quieter and safer at home.
Is 8 lb heavy enough?
Yes. The Big 300 is built on high reps, not heavy weight: 30 reps of each move at 8 lb gives your whole body a real workout in 10 minutes.
Handle or no handle?
The handle makes presses, rows, curls and shrugs easier to grip. No handle is great if you like to hug the bag for squats, crunches and twists.
