Sandbag Suitcase Walk Horizontal Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the entire exercise. Engage your obliques by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a tight and controlled movement.
  2. Keep your lower back in a neutral position to prevent any unnecessary strain. Imagine a small cushion between your lower back and the ground, maintaining a slight arch but avoiding excessive curvature.
  3. Grip the sandbag firmly with your forearms, activating your forearm muscles and enhancing your grip strength. Squeeze the sandbag tightly as you walk, feeling the muscles in your forearms working to keep the weight secure.
  4. Take small, deliberate steps while maintaining a slow and controlled pace. This will challenge your stability and ensure that your core and obliques are fully engaged throughout the exercise.
  5. As you walk, visualize the sandbag as an extension of your body, moving with fluidity and grace. Embrace the challenge and push yourself to go a little further each time, knowing that every step brings you closer to your fitness goals.
