The Fraktur bag for IKEA has become so viral, there’s now even a workout that involves it, thanks to Reebok trainer Andrew Connor. Via People:
People have managed to turn the iconic IKEA Frakta bag into boots, wallets and even crop tops, and now Reebok trainer Andrew Connor is demonstrating how they can be exercise tools as well.
Just grab a few Frakta bags, and a medicine ball or weights — and you can work up a serious sweat.
Some workouts include:
1. Plastic Bag Press: Add weights (or any heavy object) to two bags to do this move. With bags in hand, rest the weight on your shoulders with both palms facing inward toward your head. Press straight up until both arms are fully extended with bags in hand. Lower arms back down toward your shoulders, slightly bending your knees as your hands reach your shoulders. Use the momentum to drive back up into a fully extended arm position.
2. Plastic Bag Rows: For this you’ll need a pull-up bar. Swing the bag over the bar so both handles hang from either side. With arms outstretched, grab both handles and pull yourself up until your chest reaches your hands. Extend arms to lower yourself back down.
