So we aren’t just throwing workouts against the wall and hoping you do them. You will be rewarded by performing these Ultimate Sandbag Training workouts with some of the fastest results in strength, fitness, and all around athleticism you have experienced.

Now, having said that there were some questions that came up during the first Immortal Ultimate Sandbag Training workout so let’s explain.

Ultimate Sandbag Training Immortal Workouts

Q: How many times a week should I perform the workout?

A: There will be 4 total Ultimate Sandbag Training Immortal Workouts. My recommendation is you start with 3 days a week of them because of the intensity and volume of work involved. They work better if used together, however, you can pick your favorite and incorporate into your favorite regimes.

Q: There are a lot of single leg drills, do I perform each side at once?

A: Yes, part of the intensity comes from the higher stability demands of these movements, not just the single leg component, but the acceleration and deceleration of them as well. Perform each side of a movement before going on to the next drill unless specified otherwise.

Q: Is this suppose to be a circuit?

A: In the first Ultimate Sandbag Training Immortal workout it is a circuit. So complete the exercise then proceed to the next movement. In the second Ultimate Sandbag Training Immortal Workout there is a complex up front that you will perform for the desired rounds then it is followed with a metabolic circuit.

Q: Do I really get that much out of the Immortal workouts?

A: Let’s put this in perspective. Sprinting is said to be one of the best forms of high intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT has been shown to elevate metabolism and spare lean muscle better than long duration low/moderate intensity exercise. According to Livestrong.com an 150 pound person that sprints at 10 mph for one minute burns 20 calories in that minute. Now, for those that haven’t tried it, running 10 mph is pretty intense. Elite sprinters like World Record holder, Michael Johnson, averaged 20.71 mph during his 40 meter run which was a bit over 43 seconds. Interestingly enough, the world record holder in the 800 meter run averaged a bit over 17 mph. Which shows you how difficult it is to maintain high speeds for a period of time.

What does this have to do with our Ultimate Sandbag Training Immortal Workouts? Well, hold on one more minute! The above would mean if our 150 pound sprinter running at 10 mph actually maintained this speed for a half hour they would burn 600 calories. Of course NO ONE can maintain a high level sprint for 30 minutes (just see the above example of how drastically speed drops in elite sprinters in short distances), otherwise it really wouldn’t be a sprint! The reality is that someone who can perform sprints at a 1:1 work to rest ratio (1 minute of work to 1 minute of rest) for 30 minutes is pretty impressive! That would drop the calories burned to 300 calories though for the workout period, still good and we know that metabolism will be elevated for 12-16 hours after so fat loss can continue much further after the workout.

Ultimate Sandbag Training vs. Sprinting

Here is how the Ultimate Sandbag Training Workouts can change how you see HIIT programs. Yesterday, physical therapist and a woman that suffers from 5 disc herniations, Jessica Bento went through the second Ultimate Sandbag Training workout. Within 15 minutes of work she burned 270 calories! If we take the sprinting example above, as bodyweight is similar, then she burned 270 calories in 15 minutes versus then 150 calories she may have burned during sprinting. Since BOTH are forms of HIIT we still get the post-exercise benefits of elevated metabolism and caloric expenditure.

Yet, possibly ALMOST better than the calorie difference is the fact with 5 disc herniations there is no way Jessica can sprint without pain. Now, she can perform highly effective workouts, develop strength to help her back, flexibility to keep her healthy, and core strength to help her stay “functional”, without the negative impact that so many people struggle with other forms of training like sprinting!
