Why use a 5 or 10 kg weighted bag for your workouts?
Unlike bars, dumbbells, and kettlebells, this bag allows you to work your muscles differently.
Enjoy a variety of helpful movements, such as:
- High pulls: for the shoulders, biceps, and trapezius
- Lunges: for the quads and glutes
- Russian twists: for the abs
Plus, its "soft" side allows you to drop it on the floor without damage, unlike a standard kettlebell. Much more pleasant for your downstairs neighbours.
How robust is the weighted bag?
Highly robust and perfectly watertight, our weighted bag is solid thanks to its 2 layers of fabric around the sand.
Even when filled with sand, it remains very malleable, providing a new way to work your body.
What exercises can you do with the weighted bag?
With the 5 & 10 kg weighted bag, you can do a number of exercises similar to those with a bar or kettlebell, such as:
- Russian swing
- Hip thrust
- KB Swing
- Chin pull
- Squat
- Deadlift...
Let your imagination run wild!
Maximising the robustness of your weighted bag
This weighted bag can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, you should not drag it over concrete surfaces, as this may damage the fabric.
To keep from damaging it, use a rubber slab (ref: 8651539). You can then drop it totally safely, without worrying about damage.

Cross training circuit recommended by our coach (1/2)
3 to 6 rounds with a recovery time between 1 and 2 minutes between each round:
- Russian twists: 8-12 reps per side
- Goblet squats: 10-15 reps
- 1-arm rows: 8-12 reps per side
- Swings with bag: 10-15 reps
Note that there is no recovery time between exercises.
Our coach's advice (2/2)
For each exercise, start with the minimum number of recommended reps and using the 5 kg bag, leaving a 2 rep margin, and increase by one rep per week until you reach the maximum recommended reps. Next, increase the weight by using the 10 kg bag or kettlebells.
As you progress, you can increase the number of rounds and reduce, or even remove, the recovery time between rounds.
