Sandbag Bear Hug Lunge (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The sandbag Bear hug lunge is a workout that primarily engages the Glutes and Quads.

The sandbag’s weight adds resistance, increasing the intensity of the exercise without overstressing secondary muscles.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a sandbag in front of your chest with both hands.
Take a big step forward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position.
Bend both knees to a 90-degree angle, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, bringing your right foot back next to your left.
Repeat the lunge on the opposite side, stepping forward with your left foot and bending both knees to a 90-degree angle.

Start with a sandbag that is comfortable for you to hold in a bear hug position.
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and take a big step forward with your right foot.
Lower your body down by bending both knees until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.
Make sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Push through your front heel to return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Focus on squeezing your glutes and engaging your quads as you push back up.
Keep the movement controlled and avoid any jerky motions to prevent injuries.
