I already use the sand bags to work out so I just pull out a filler bag.
Had been considering getting a workout bag anyways after seeing some workouts using them. I like to mix up isolation workouts with functional workouts. Just had some sticker shock when the implication was the workout bag is cheap. Still averages between $1 -$1.5 per pound, just like metal weights.
The local high school locks up the stadium and bleachers.
Any other ideas for finding hills to climb?
Office building stairs. Stair climber at a gym. Escalator in a mall early in the morning. Put weights on your legs and just go for a walk. Find a bench, step up on it, then step down, one leg at a time. Do standing lunges and squats if nothing else.
I am lucky (At least for training purposes) to work in a 17 story office building, so I climb stairs 5 times once a week with weights. Its about 1300' of elevation change total. If I didn't have this, I would climb the levee in George Bush Park. My last resort would be to walk the tunnels and stairs in downtown Houston.
Mountain tactical recommends building a 16"-20" step platform and doing step-ups with platform.
Yep this, but if you have any lakes nearby many times you can do hill work on the back side of the dam. But be careful, many have hardcore pitches near the top. I slipped with a pack on two years ago and dang near went rolling way down. My wife laughed her butt off at me.
Well I started a new program today and the first workout sucked. I feel great after tho. I got 400 step ups in 30 min. I did the last 100 unbroken because I wanted to get to 400.

I'm not going to be dropping any weight, but I do plan to up some cardio conditioning and probably add in some sled pushes and tire flips for a little more aggressive cardio.
