Featured on Shape.com: “12 Fitness Trends to Watch For in 2012”

When Shape Magazine asked me what I thought would be a big trend in 2012, I had many ideas but the one I went with was “Sandbag Training” (see #12 in the article below). Sandbag training has been around for awhile now, but now many companies are making more functional bags with customized weights, handles and even pink ones for women (got mine HERE)! I will try to post a workout soon with some sample exercises. Until then, you can watch the video below to see how it can be used (warning: it’s tough!!).

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
