Underground Training

Today I will be home with my two kids all day! I am taking the day off to spend time with them, just us. This does not mean however that I am going to blow off my workout. Because I want to give them the attention they deserve, I will need to train while they are taking their naps this afternoon.





I plan on a little Underground Training!





What is Underground Training?





Simply put, it is non traditional training; kettlebells, sled, kegs sandbag training and asically anything you can think of that gets you out of the gym training with odd objects and getting a great workout!





Zach Even Esh, at Underground Strength Coach! is a master at this. He runs a gym, The Undergound, that utilizes any and everything to get results. Apparently it works according to the testimonials on his site from his members. I encourage you to check his site out at Underground Strength Coach!


So, what will my workout be like today?



Well, as I mentioned, I don't belong to a gym which is perfect for underground training! I picked up the benefits of sandbag training from Zach, and I am partial to it, so thats what I plan on doing today.

Why?
Because you can get a quick workout complete in a short amount of time. These are HARD, HARD workouts!



Basically I will takes a bag of sand I bought for my kids' sandbox (which I didn't use) and use it as my training tool. With it I will :



squat

deadlift

press

snatch

lunge


Everything will be done in a circuit fashion, no rest between exercises.
The variations are almost limitless. You can pretty much do anything with a sandbag that you can do with a barbell. The difference is that the weight is unstable forcing your body to work harder to lift and keep control of the weight.



You should try it out. I am interested if anyone else has tried this and what results you have gotten. Let me know. I will update you later on how my Underground Training went!
