Equipment to consider when increasing the difficulty of a sand workout.
Equipment
Sand is versatile enough for demanding, comprehensive workouts without equipment. Adding equipment can increase difficulty or bring greater focus to a particular muscle group. The original article highlights these options:
- Sandbags: useful for increasing the intensity of arm, shoulder and leg work, including squats and lunges.
- Sand discs: used for specific abdominal or hamstring exercises, providing a challenge with relatively little weight.
- Ankle weights: versions that can be filled with sand allow the difficulty of leg exercises to be increased.
