Why use a 5kg or 10kg weighted bag for your sessions?
Unlike bars, dumbbells and kettlebells (KB), this bag lets you work your muscles in a different way.
Enjoy a variety of beneficial movements, such as:
- High pull: for shoulders, biceps and trapezius
- Lunges: for quads and glutes
- Russian twist: for abs
What's more, its "soft" side means you can drop it on the floor without damaging it, unlike a classic kettlebell. That's more pleasant for your neighbors downstairs.
How sturdy is the weighted bag?
Highly resistant and perfectly watertight, our weighted bag is solid thanks to its 2 layers of fabric that envelop the sand.
Even when filled with sand, it remains highly malleable, offering a new way to work your body.
What exercises can I do with the weighted bag?
With the 5kg and 10kg weighted bag you can perform many exercises similar to those with a barbell or kettlebell, such as:
- Russian swing
- Hip trust
- KB Swing
- Chin pull
- Squat
- Deadlift...
Let your imagination run wild!
How can I maximize the durability of my weighted bag?
This weighted bag can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, we recommend that you avoid dragging it over concrete surfaces, as this could damage the bag's fabric.
To avoid damaging it, use the rubber slab (ref: 8651539). This will enable you to drop it safely, without fear of damaging it.

Our coach's cross-training circuit (1/2)
3 to 6 rounds with 1 to 2 minutes' recovery between each round:
- russian twist: 8-12 repetitions per side
- goblet squat: 10 to 15 repetitions
- 1-arm rowing: 8-12 repetitions per side
- bag swing: 10 to 15 repetitions
Please note that there is no recovery between exercises.
Our coach's advice (2/2)
For each exercise, start with the minimum recommended number of repetitions and the 5 kg bag, leaving a margin of 2 repetitions, and increase by one repetition per week until you reach the maximum recommended number. Then increase the weight using the 10 kg bag or kettlebells.
As you progress, you can increase the number of rounds and reduce or eliminate recovery between rounds.
