In this video I show you one of the most valuable leg exercises for developing the specific kind of lower body power and core strength we need on the trail – and you’ve probably never heard of it before! This unique exercise is called the Rotational Lunge and uses a sandbag, which is a tool that until recently I did not truly appreciate. After seeing a demo by Ultimate Sandbag creator Josh Henkin I realized that I was missing out by not employing the unique exercise variations available through this valuable training tool.

I use and recommend the Ultimate Sandbag because of its high quality construction and ability to change weights without needing to buy several different bags. You can find out more about them and buy one for yourself so you can take advantage of this exercise by visiting the link below:
