Workout of the Week #20

Burn fat and build muscle with our weekly gym challenge. Workout of the Week #20: vault to sandbag throw

Take on your Men's Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We'll post a new workout every Monday and for an added incentive, we'll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.

Workout of the Week #20

Do 50 vault to 10kg sandbag throws as fast as you can.

How to do the workout:
Stand to the side of a box or bench holding a 10kg sandbag or med ball. Throw the sandbag to land close to the other side of the box. Then put your hands on the top of the box and jump your legs over it to land beside the sandbag. That's one rep. Continue by grabbing the sandbag, throwing it over the box and vaulting the box again. Be sure to land with soft knees each time and work on finding the most efficient way to get over the box.

Watch the video, take on the challenge and post your best score in the comments section below.

MF's par time: 1min 45sec
