Crossfit Power Bags can be used for a wide range of exercises, suitable for all fitness levels, while helping to increase strength and cardiovascular function.

Their shape is cylindrical and they have two main handles, at each end of the bag, which are typically used for swinging and rotating it. There are also additional handles that offer variation in the intensity of the exercise as well as a greater range of exercises.

Power Bags combine the benefits of a Kettlebell, a Medicine Ball, and a dumbbell. However, unlike traditional dumbbells, Power Bags use the "instability" they cause to create an element of unpredictable movement during exercise. This encourages the stabilizing muscles to work even harder.
