Sandbag Training for Injury Prevention

Sandbag Training in the Safety Zone
Sandbag training adds a new stimulus to your muscles by doing Dynamic Variable Resistance Training (DVRT). This is functional movement training designed to replicate daily life activities engaging muscles in ways they aren’t used to working. Sandbag training is a fun way to burn calories, improve balance, coordination, cardio, core strength & teaching your body how to move 360 degrees (Please see picture below). If you don’t have a sandbag no worries. You can either order one & get sand from a local store to fill or use a box, pet food bag, bird seed bag or use your imagination. It’s important to be creative & teach your body to do functional training for your daily activities so it will know how to respond when your body is thrown out of balance staying in the safety zone.
This is what renown spine expert, Dr. Stuart McGill, says, “Functional training such as connecting the chains of the body and realizing that the body doesn’t function as bunch of randomly assembled parts.” Therefore, I focus on training movement patterns and not muscles. This was a key factor in how I recovered from a seat belt injury that had left me disabled. I am a certified Functional Movement Systems Instructor offering screening test to help correct muscle imbalances.
