How to do it

  1. Stand over the sandbag with feet close together, wedging it between your knees.
  2. Squat down, wrap both arms fully around the bag, and pull it tight against your chest.
  3. Drop your hips and drive through your legs to stand up, keeping the bag hugged high on your torso.
  4. Walk forward with short, quick steps, keeping your chest up and squeezing the bag in against your body throughout.
  5. Set the bag down under control at the end of the distance or time.
