Easter Sunday was a bit odd for us. Unfortunately a really good friend of ours had her father go into an emergency procedure. That meant we were on high alert, in case our friends needed anything we wanted to be able to be there for them.
We kept our phones attached to us all day. However, we didn’t want to be completely paralyzed all day. In order to have some sanity in the day, we thought a workout would give us a semblance of normalcy. Positive physical work can often be a great way to deal with real world stress!
So, we slid over our coffee table, we both grabbed an Ultimate Sandbag and we were ready to roll. Most would think that we could probably only squeeze in a really limited workout with the equipment and time we had available. The reality is we were in for one of the toughest workouts we had done in some time!
It is as though having to be super focused on our time and work, we actually got an even more efficient workout. After a little warm-up, it was 15 minutes. Yea, 15 minutes and we both felt smoked!
Our support team for the day!
We didn’t do some random running and jumping, but created a fun workout that hit the body in all different ways, all different movement patterns, and balanced stress for the whole body!
There were three series, four exercises, and one heck of a workout. What was it?

These types of DVRT Ultimate Sandbag complexes are an amazing way to get quality, efficient, and result packed work in a short amount of time. Why don’t more people use DVRT Ultimate Sandbag workouts like this? Did I say it was rough!!!
We both averaged 93 and 95% heart rates for the workout! That means we were working in that high intensity zone where (want to read why high intensity training is so powerful? Check out this great article by Alwyn Cosgrove HERE)
Besides just being a heart pounder workout. The balance in the workout is one of the things that I love about DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training the best. It isn’t just about beating yourself into the ground, rather using science in an applicable way that makes sense.
Fortunately, our friend’s father is doing well. She even asked me to come over and train tomorrow to relieve some of that stress. One of the most underrated aspects of fitness is the mental health that it can give any of us.
I hope you enjoy this DVRT Ultimate Sandbag complex (you can check out more HERE) and see two different options in which you can try this DVRT Ultimate Sandbag workout yourself!
