Adding just 5lbs to your body while training increases the intensity and efficiency of your workout, burning more calories in a shorter amount of time. The increased intensity taxes the cardiovascular system and engages the entire core, improving overall performance, speed, endurance, and strength. A study cited in the journal of applied physiology examined the effects of adding weight to strength training of subjects who already had a steady level of performance. the weight vest research study took place 3 days a week for 10 weeks. Leg strength was increased by 30% and short-term endurance during cycling and running was increased by 11-13%.

Sand weight training can improve core stability, build grip strength and enhance safety

The SandBell, SteelBell and SoftBell can be used in place of traditional free weights for 1000s of exercises. In addition to working the targeted muscle groups, these dynamic sand weights also challenge grip and abdominal muscles. This is because the sand inside is dynamic, requiring the user to activate their core to stabilize the shifting weight. These soft weights can be dropped, thrown or tossed— while traditional free weights can injure workout participants or damage equipment if used incorrectly or dropped.
