THE
SANDBAG.
To get the best from your Sandbag and prolong its life, we recommend that
it is visually checked prior to every use, particularly where there are multi-
users. Understanding and heeding the Dos and Dont’s below will ensure
users quickly become familiar with using the product as intended and how to
inspect and care for it.
• Do check the surface and handles of the bag to ensure there is no
fraying, cuts, nicks abrasions or tears in the material. Check around the
edges to ensure the stitching remains intact. Running your hands over
the surface may identify damage more readily.
•Do use on a stable floor / surface and check there are no trip hazards or
sharp objects that could damage the bag. Check that there is enough
space around you to swing the bag without making contact with any
obstacle.
•Do return bags to storage racks specifically designed for the purpose
after each and every use to help prolong their life and reduce tripping
hazards in the exercise area.
• Do brush the surface of the Sandbag between uses with a soft bristled
brush to keep it clean.
•Do store the product indoors.
• Do not drop onto or drag bags over sharp objects as this may pierce or
tear the material exterior.
•Do not slam, drop from a height or stand on the Sandbag especially at
the outer circular edges as this can weaken the stitched joints resulting in
product failure.
•Do not attach other equipment to the bag and drag or swing it. Handles
are for holding only.
•Do not lift weights beyond your capacity. Know your limits.
Children must be supervised by an adult when using this product.
•Do not use or store products next to any heat source, in direct sunlight or
in damp or humid environments such as swimming pools or spas.

GETTING TO
KNOW YOUR
SANDBAG.

SHOULDER THROW.
ONE ARM HIGH PULL.

FIREMANS LIFT. SACK SQUAT.
The Escape Sandbag is a popular tool used for lifting, throwing
and running. The bag is always changing shape during a
workout, because of the small weighted bags within the durable
outer case that are free to move constantly. Whenever you lift,
press or pull the Sandbag it will keep you guessing as it’s never
quite the same.
Its soft touch and easy to handle design makes it a great tool for
users of all levels. Available in three weights, there is a version
that’s suitable for everyone. From the 10kg model for smaller,
lighter people right up to the 20kg version for the serious athlete.
The Sandbag can be used to perform big sagittal plane
movements, functional movements and dynamic exercises. It is
a very versatile tool and thanks to its many handles and shape, it
can be picked up in all in a variety of fashions.
THE BAG THAT WILL KEEP
YOU GUESSING AS ITS SHAPE
IS NEVER QUITE THE SAME.
Straddle the bag and set up in a
deadlift style posture. Take hold
of the side handles. Lift the bag
onto the shoulder, keeping the
same grip. Return the bag back
to the floor and then lift it up to
the opposite shoulder.
Hold the side handles with the
bag on the shoulder. Sit back
into hips as if sitting on a chair,
keeping head and chest up.
Sit deep into the squat, so
knee joints go through 90
degrees, keeping the bag on
the shoulder. Then return to
standing position.
Take hold of a side handle with
one hand and set up in a
deadlift position. Pull the bag
high up to chest height. Return
the bag to the floor and repeat
on opposite side.
Take hold of one of the end
handles with both hands.
Swing the bag through the legs.
As the bag comes upwards flip
it over, onto the shoulder so
the hands are in a forward
position and the bag is lying
over the shoulder. Flip it back
off the shoulder and through the
legs. Swap shoulders each time.
SQUAT AND PRESS.
Hold the wide handles with
the bag in the rack position.
Go into a squat keeping the
bag close to the body. On the
upward phase use the vertical
momentum of the squat to
press the bag above the head.
Take two bags by the side
handles, holding one in each
arm. Keep the chest up and
shoulders back to maintain
good posture for the walk.
Walk the distance required.
Farmer’s Walks can sometimes
be used as races, at which
point a run is acceptable but
this does not have the same
postural benefits as a walk.

With a bag on either side of the
feet, sit down to pick them up
using the side handles.
Stand up with the bags staying
to the side of the body.
Take hold of the end handles
with both hands. Start with the
bag at hip height and take up
a strong stance with feet wider
than shoulder width apart.
Start swinging the bag around
the head in a dynamic fashion.
