What are the benefits of running with a sandbag?

In order to enhance their physical health, many people have joined the ranks of exercise, and various outdoor sports have been welcomed by everyone. Of course, weight-bearing training can also play a good role in exercise. Many young men are in a critical period of physical development, and tying sandbags while running also has special effects. So do you know what are the benefits of running with sandbags tied to them?

Weight-bearing exercise can stimulate the bones of people who exercise regularly and obtain better bone quality. Weight-bearing exercise can stimulate bones, facilitate the influx of calcium, make bones stronger, and delay the loss of bone calcium. Therefore, health experts recommend 3 to 5 weight-bearing exercises per week, such as walking, jogging, running, climbing stairs, and skipping rope, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes. The pros and cons of weight-bearing exercise Some people like to hold two dumbbells in their hands while jogging or brisk walking, or tie sandbags on their legs to increase the exercise load.

Theoretically, increasing the amount of exercise can indeed make the body consume more calories, speed up the heart rate, increase the body's oxygen consumption, and strengthen muscle strength. However, weight-bearing training also has a disadvantage, which is that it is easy to get injured, and some patients are not suitable for weight-bearing training. If a person walks briskly at a speed of 4 miles per hour for one hour, he will burn 400 calories. If he holds two dumbbells weighing one pound each while walking briskly, he can burn about 10% more calories. This amount of calories is not a lot, but the exerciser will quickly feel tired because of the increased load.

If he holds two 5-pound dumbbells while exercising, he will increase his calorie consumption by 40%. Of course, you should not blindly increase the load when exercising, because as the load increases, the possibility of elbow and shoulder injuries also increases accordingly. Some people like to tie sandbags on their legs while running, but this is not advisable. Although increasing the load can consume more calories, tying sandbags on the legs will change the normal walking or running posture, causing the exerciser to lose balance, thus causing injury, and the exerciser will also be more likely to feel tired. In fact, if you want to burn more calories, you can achieve your goal by simply extending the exercise time appropriately.

The above is a detailed answer to the benefits of running with sandbags tied to your body. More and more people are paying attention to their physical health. Exercise is a very good form of exercise. In real life, busy life always makes us breathless. In fact, weight-bearing exercises are also a very good way to exercise. I hope that this form of exercise, running with sandbags tied to your body, can be accepted by everyone.
