The nice folks at Icelandic Glacial Water recently sent me a whole case of their product to try out. While I don't often review things on the blog here at Sandbag Fitness, I make an exception for products that I like and I'm happy to recommend to you guys.
Firstly, this is really nice water. I mean really nice. If you're used to drinking regular tap water (which is what I normally have) then you'll notice a difference straight away. This tastes very clean and pure.
After checking out their site in a little more detail I read a number of other cool things about this stuff, including:
It comes from the 5000 year old Ölfus Spring in Iceland.
The area in which it comes from is protected and there are no buildings or farming within the 128,000 acre region.
The water is bottled in a clean room environment, so it isn't exposed to the air until you take the cap off.
It's a Carbon-Neutral product.
Besides, drinking water from Iceland makes me feel like a Viking...and that's no bad thing.
If you see this in your local store then I can highly recommend trying it. You can find out more about the product by clicking here.

Lifting Sandbags for Manliness (and Womanliness)!
Recently I've been going through some of the articles stored in my 'Writing' folder on the computer and I found something I'd written for Art Of Manliness (www.artofmanliness.com) a year or so ago. They didn't want it (perhaps it was too manly for them) so I'm giving it to you guys instead!
The article is a little gimmicky (after all, isn't manliness subjective?) but I think you guys will enjoy it. For me, I don't like to really categorise anyone as being manly or womanly but I know that being fit and healthy makes me a nicer person and, or so I like to think, a better human being all round. So here goes!

Lifting Sandbags For Manliness
The last time I really stepped foot in a commercial gym facility was in 2009 - it was some awful place called ‘Celebrity Fitness’ (or something like that) and it was the kind of venue that you just wouldn’t ever see any celebrities in (except maybe D-listers and below). I was training hard and they told me off for lifting too much weight. Seriously. I was flabbergasted. To make things worse I was told by someone who would have looked more at home in a toothpaste commercial - he was basically white teeth and a ridiculous ‘fashion haircut’, all dressed up in a tracksuit.
It’s my opinion that there are 2 things that a person should never be interrupted during:
1. Sex.
2. Hard physical exercise (see also ‘1. Sex’)
I left the place feeling like a lion whose hunt has just been put on hold by an antelope who was complaining that the run was making him sweat and it was ruining his fur. It made me think just how far the commercial gym market had slipped. They had become horrible, overly sterile environments where the key focus was to wear the best clothes, strut around the place and generally act a little metro-sexual. Wasn’t that the reason to go to nightclubs?
At that point I pretty much decided that I was done with the commercial gym. At the time I was short on funds - I had just funded a 9 month adventure around the globe. I needed to get fit and, as my exercise of choice is weight training, I needed to find some inexpensive ‘weight’ to lift. As it turns out, sand is about as inexpensive as you can get. And, in many instances, you can also get it for free. So I headed down to the hardware store and purchased 250 lbs of sand for about $10. I started off with a simple set up - a big canvas bag stuffed full of smaller sandbags.
I’d follow similar workouts to those that I always had done - the only real difference being that I was lifting sand instead of traditional barbells or dumbbells. At first it wasn’t easy. Handling a sandbag is considerably harder than I expected but I persevered and started making improvements. After a few workouts I realised that it was seriously hard work and not just some poor excuse for a real workout.
I started to wonder how many other people were out there in a similar position to me - unable or unwilling to get to the gymnasium, or just simply time/financially poor individuals. A little more research and I found out that people had been training with sandbags for quite a long time.
I started this blog, Sandbag Fitness, to share my experiences with others. I just write about the workouts that I’ve done in my garage and people seem to enjoy following them - we now get a few thousand hits per month so there’s obviously plenty of people out there who are tired of the traditional gym environment.
How Will Lifting Sandbags Help With Manliness (or womanliness)?

You’re lifting something real - not some modern machine designed to optimize your exercise experience. That big bag of sand could just as easily be an elk you’ve just killed or a loved one that you’re rescuing from a burning building. It’s this reason that lots of athletes are now using sandbags as part of their training.
You can follow your sandbag training program anywhere. I use mine in the garage but you could just as easily train with yours: in a field/up a mountain/on a beach.
The sandbag is built for manly use. You can throw it, slam it and even start punching it in a fit of rage - it will generally stand up to the abuse. Try doing that with anything at your average gym and they’ll probably ask you to leave, and maybe even call the cops.
Sandbag training is tough and is used by the military, strongmen/women and elite athletes the world over to develop great strength and conditioning. It gets results quickly and with the minimum of investment - meaning that you can focus on the other important things in life. You don’t need to turn into that guy who is at the gym for 2-3 hours per day.
Is Sandbag Training the best thing since sliced bread? Read here
I’m Ready To Start!
Get yourself a sandbag - either construct one at home using a holdall, duffel bag or something similar (good guide here) or get a custom made sandbag like the Sandbag Fitness sandbag (click here) or the Brute Force Sandbag (click here for UK/Europe or click here for US)
Follow the workouts posted at Sandbag Fitness
Prepare yourself for new found levels of strength, conditioning and general bad-ass status
Astound friends, colleagues and family members by displaying your ability to throw around everyday objects with ease
How To Succeed With A Sandbag Strength & Conditioning Program
Just because you’ve traded your traditional dumbbells and barbell for a bag of sand it doesn’t mean that you should ignore the basics. Your training should focus on big, full body compound lifts like Deadlifts, Squats, Presses and Pulls. I also like to throw plenty of bodyweight conditioning in there for good measure.
The intensity of your program will generally yield better results than the volume. Focus your efforts on working hard with a sandbag weight that challenges you.

My Favorite Sandbag Exercises
Hold a sandbag at chest height in the crook of your arms (as pictured). Keeping your head and chest high, squat down until your hips are lower than your knees. Be sure to keep your spine and core braced and keep your feet flat. The Sandbag Zercher Squat will build powerful legs and a strong core.
Sandbag Windmill
Hold a sandbag overhead in one hand - either hold a handle or the fabric of the bag. Keeping the arm straight, push your hip out to the side to initiate the movement. Slowly reach down towards the ground and touch your opposite foot. The Sandbag Windmill is a great exercise for core strength and shoulder stability.

An area that every single person should be concerned with is their fitness. When it comes to this, it's important that your decisions are sound. If you are struggling to maintain a good fitness routine, read the following article for some ideas.

First, it is important to incorporate some cardiovascular exercises into your fitness regimen. This is important for numerous reasons. First, it ensures that your heart remains strong and healthy. Second, it helps you lose fat or maintain your current weight.
fitness for lifestyleBecause your heart rate is elevated with cardio exercise, it is proven to be of the best weight-loss methods. You may think that cardio is simply running outside or on a treadmill, but the truth is there are so many other things you can do to get a good cardio workout. For instance, you could try riding a bike outside, playing a sport, or even just dancing to your favorite songs. All can help elevate your heart rate, increasing your metabolism. If you have bad joints, you should consider using an elliptical machine, which has been proven to be one of the best weight-loss machines for those with weak joints. Cardio workouts can be accomplished virtually anytime and anywhere.

Although cardio exercise is extremely important, you should not forget to include some resistance training as well. This is important for building lean muscle, which helps to keep your metabolism high and burn off fat. Although you may be afraid of resistance training because you do not want to get bulky, you should not let this stop you. Although it is true that resistance training can do this to you, it won't if you maintain a healthy diet and incorporate some cardio workouts as well. In fact, if you don't do resistance training, you could end up burning a lot of muscle as well as fat, which can cause you to look deathly sick. If you are prone to injury, you don't even have to use weights. You can use your own body weight, such as push-ups or pull-ups, to do resistance training.

Make sure you don't forget to workout the lower back. Many weightlifters focus on the "mirror muscles", such as the chest, shoulders, and biceps. However, all parts of the body should be worked out, and that includes your lower back. If you fail to workout this part of your body, it will get weak. When you have a weak lower back, you are prone to serious injury. Lower back injury is a very serious matter that can be prevented by working it out. Try doing some superman's and lat pull-downs to workout this muscle.

Whenever you workout regularly, it's important that you eat right. This includes eating before and after your workout. About an hour before your workout, you should consume a light snack that contains long-lasting carbohydrates, such as brown rice, oatmeal, or a whole-wheat bagel. Include some protein as well. After your workout, you should consume foods with a higher glycemic index because your body needs fast-absorbing carbohydrates during this time, especially if your workout was intense. These foods include white rice, mashed potatoes, and cereal. Also, make sure you include protein. Protein is an important macronutrient for a healthy body.

When working out, it's important not to just do a workout whenever you have free time. If you are a busy person, you will probably struggle to find free time and make an excuse that you're too busy. Instead, set a time for your workouts and stick with them, no matter what. It really doesn't matter what time of the day you workout, just as long as you actually do it. If you workout best in the early morning before work, do it. If the best time for you to workout is after work, then do that. Just make sure you incorporate a workout into your day somewhere.

Finally, keep in mind the golden rule whenever you are in the middle of your workout: always breathe. Never hold your breath. This is important for many reasons. First, you can get dizzy and faint if you do not breathe. Second, your muscles require oxygen in order to function. In order to receive oxygen, you have to breathe. Breathing deeply can actually help you get through extremely difficult workouts. Remember to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Living a healthy lifestyle does not have to be difficult. Utilize the tips provided above, and you can plan out your fitness regime with success.

Many are the essential tips and important information that fill the aspiring bodybuilder's bag, but the most foundational is this - having and establishing correct workout routines schedules. You will find this, as well as excellent fitness routines and pointers on how to achieve a great physique and corresponding lifestyle on this article.

Before anything, have a complete medical check-up with your physician. It is important to know your body's current status. Do you have an ailment that needs treatment? Some exercises may be harmful for you to do. Find out the condition of your muscle and bones to know what particular movements should be avoided to prevent further damage.

Achieving your ideal body quickly can be done by monitoring its gradual progress regularly. You can request that the in house fitness instructor create a customized training program for you. Aside from the assigned reps, sets and weight loads-inquire regarding the most optimal frequency and intensity of training you should do.

Split training is valuable because it will get the most out of your fitness routines. Ask yourself how many days you can devote to training. If you have two days, you can divide the workouts between your upper body muscles and your lower body muscles. If you have three days to spare, divide your workouts as follows: day one - chest, arms and stomach, day two - legs, day three - back, shoulders and stomach. Put in cardiovascular activities on the other days of the week. Have an early morning job or a late afternoon Frisbee game in the park with some friends-this qualifies as fun and effectual cardio exercises.

Some of the most effective drills are as follows: Chest - barbell bench press, declined bench press and inclined bench press Arms - Dips, Barbell curls, close grip bench press Abs - crunches, leg raises, Roman chair Back - Lat pull downs, T-bar rows, deadlifts Shoulder - standing military press, sitting military press, dumbbell rear felt flyes Legs - Squats, front squats, lunges, leg press

Always stretch well before, during and after your assigned drills. Stretching increases the blood flow to the different muscle groups. It also expands your connective tissues, meaning it creates space which serves to give room for the growing muscles. Stretching raises the body temperature and makes you more flexible which in turn, ensures maximum efficacy in your training.

Get frequent and quality sleep into your lifestyle. It is the easiest way to develop muscles as sleep works to repair and grow the damaged muscle tissues to be stronger and bigger than before. Avoid dehydration by drinking 10-12 glasses of water on your training days. Lastly, follow a healthy diet faithfully to accelerate your fitness goals.

It matters not what weight you start it, if you are willing and determined, you can get the body you've always wanted. Take heed the valuable tips and workout routines schedules as listed in this article and enjoy the results you have worked so hard for faster than you thought.
