  3. As you lunge, keep your back straight and your chest lifted.
  4. Push through your left heel to return to a standing position, bringing your right foot forward to meet your left foot.
  5. Repeat the lunge with your right foot, stepping forward and lowering your body.

Sandbag Lunge Walk Suitcase And Overhead Tips

  1. Engage your quads and glutes by maintaining a strong core throughout the sandbag lunge walk. Imagine your core as the powerhouse that drives your movement, allowing your quads and glutes to fire up with each step you take.
  2. Focus on your form by keeping your chest lifted and your shoulders back. This not only helps you maintain proper posture, but it also ensures that your quads and glutes are fully activated during the exercise. Remember, good form leads to better results!
  3. When performing the suitcase sandbag exercise, imagine that you are carrying a heavy load in one hand. This mental image will help you engage your quads and glutes as you stabilize and control the sandbag, promoting balanced strength and stability on both sides of your body.
  4. Take it to the next level with the overhead sandbag exercise. As you press the sandbag overhead, focus on engaging your quads and glutes to maintain a stable base. This not only strengthens your lower body but also challenges your core stability and shoulder strength.
  5. Challenge yourself by increasing the weight of the sandbag gradually. By progressively overloading your muscles, you will continue to engage your quads and glutes at an advanced level, pushing your limits and achieving new milestones in your fitness journey.
