Sandbags and soccer balls

I usually like to train in my backyard but as it is raining today that was not an option.I've decided that until my hand heals I will do no upper body strength work.I've been told I should keep pressing with my right arm but I don't feel the need to do so.I know that when the time comes my strength will return quickly as it is not dependent upon keeping up a certain level of muscle mass.So with that in mind I just focus on lower body and core work.

I used to love training with my sandbag but sometimes I get so focused on one thing I forget how much fun and effective they are and I should make them an integral part of my training.U think everyone should use them and if you want to know more about them I suggest you look up Josh Henkin.

So for my 15 minute workout this morning I pulled out my sandbag and 2 soccer balls and here's what I did.
3 sets of 5 reps of glute/ham raises touching forehead to may.
10 minutes of sandbag clean and squat-basically clean once to right shoulder and then 10 squats and repeat.
Janda sit ups 3 sets of 5-here's where the soccer balls come in.I tuck them between my hamstrings an calves to be able to perform this exercise.

Your only limit is your imagination!Train hard and stick to your goals
