OK here we go....
oh happy day! my newest piece of training equipment arrived from Australia yesterday and i am happy. why? so i can work it into my devious systems of ever changing fitness routines!
my newest piece of equipment is what is called a "powerbag". it basically looks like a small tubular gym bag standing about 2.5 feet high. the cool thing about this bag is that you can vary the weight load in it buy taking off the top and filling or emptying it with sand! cheap and effective! this bag is a combination of kettle bell, medicine ball, sand bag, barbell and dumbell all in one, not to mention it is made of a tough synthetic material that is made for wear and tear. basically you can toss, drag chuck and beat the shit out of it!
intensity can be controlled through the length of the set, weight of the bag and speed of movement. it can be carried in a various ways because of the various handle positions it has over its surface.
i will be adding this piece of equipment into my own tabata workouts. just wanted to give a thanks to the guys at jerseycrossfit cause they were the crew that gave me the idea to purchase this piece of equipment. after watching one of their videos on YouTube i was obsessed with getting my hands on this "powerbag". thanks guys, and keep up the good stuff!
until next time....hands up, chin down, and keep on fighting!

About Me
- adam higson
- well ive been involved in fitness most of my life as my parents were both excellent athletes. i currently am employed by all canadian fitness and i couldn't be happier as i love to train and educate people about how to change their bodys in positive ways to live long and healthy lives. in my spar time i run and train people at my own gym the phoenix fightclub which specializes in thaiboxing. currently the gym is home to 2007 canadian team member jamey english and corey "the cannon" brennan. i myself am a 7 time kickboxing and muaythai champion and have had over 15 years experience in combat sports. thai boxing or muaythai is in my opinion the greatest test of ones self as i have never really enjoyed participating in team sports much.
