I would like to know about fillers. I know you can use sand and beans--is there a beneficial reason of choice or just personal preference?

Personal Preference for me (Sand).I grew up training with sand. Plus living in Florida, it's free.

I used sand, which has a tendency to compact when you strike it if you fill it in enough, then there is less give. I imagine that if you use beans they will absorb the blow and then return to their original spacing. So if you want more hand conditioning I would probably go with the sand, but if you just want a surface to strike and aren't concerned with making your hands stronger then use the beans

Well it's more of both. I personally use beans to help kill nerves in my fist, so over time when you punch, you won't feel much pain. Just don't use something like rocks/pebbles. Some people think that rocks will kill the nerves in your fists quicker. All you will do is damage your fists and develop arthritis. Go with beans. You're going to need many bags though to feel all 3 sacks. Goodluck!

I was taught to start out with beans, progress to sand, and then ultimately gravel or a chain inside. Try not to bust your knucks open.

As I understand it, sand is a little softer and will cushion your hits a bit more, however the beans would toughen up your hands more. I think it's mostly just personal preference. I filled it with sand, I would imagine that beans would have to be replaced at some point due to breakage.

Depends on your level. Mung beans for beginner. Sand (play box sand from Home Depot or Lowes) for more advanced.

the filler is equally just as important as the bag. It is not like my other bag where the sand constantly goes to the bottom. And like the other guy says, the response and feel of the bag when you kick it is perfect.

None of them. It's an expensive hoax. I tested them along with green coffee bean. No benefit. Eat less. Exercise more. It's pretty simple -- not easy, but simple.

You can use sand or water. Water is much easier to put in and I definitely wouldn't invest in sand and a funnel since this won't last for more than a week or so.

The filler is clean goosedown. If you have allergies then you may want man made fiberfill.

Tina, I'm not a pro but I would expect different absorption rates giving you a blotchy finish. If your other option is to sand, why not try a small area and if I'm right and you then have to sand, what have you lost?

I got whole beans, preferred. They may offer one that is ground though. See descriptions of each product.

Hello Victoria, I would not recommend to use it over filler. Also it would be beneficial to google all micro current contraindications. there is a big list for that. But if its all fine I would say that first to remove any "yellow fat" and puffiness around eyes by using needless mesotherapy applications, and then use good quality micro current machine like trinity or go to a salon. I have this little machine and I would not get my friend to buy it. To me it was useless. Good luck.larisa VHS

I use all kinds of textures from nuts to all types of fruit and veggies. it depends how smooth you want the final product to be. Just let it run longer or add more milk/water for extra smoothness.

I filled mine with rice and it works very well. Friends of mine have used sand and crushed walnut shells. sand does get a little heavy, but gives a good base. Rice has to be settled by tapping it. same with the nut shells. All work well.

I never tried this mixture and you can only experiment to find out what you prefer. However, the powder mix is already a SuperFood which compensates for the nutrients you are losing on a daily basis. For example, the food pyramid tells us to eat certain amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains , etc thru-out the day, but with Greens Plus it gives you that well balance in just one glass! You mix it with water. You can be creative and add a banana or another of your favorite fruit. For myself, I choose not to add SuperFood, something that is already potent with nutrional value, to a cooked food which will take away that value. Ask yourself, what is it that I want to accomplish? If you decide to use the Super Food - Greens Plus you will begin to see how great you feel, aches & pains begin to diminish (a little). Cooked food takes away ALL NUTRIENTS which the body needs. Read up on the ingredients and decide. Hope this was helpful and let me know how it works out for you. Oh by the way, I am not a doctor nor am I a nutrionist. Just one who have been using the product for some time and it made me a believer. Watch the documentary video "Fat Sick & Nearly Dead" this is where I first learned of Greens Plus.

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way. It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

Adding in an inert filler with low volume products is standard procedure for many agriculture applications (such a spreading clover seed). Select a filler that is similar in size and density so your product does not settle out as it bounces around. I've used dry sand, ground corn husk, ground nut shells, and corn meal for example. Bulk corn meal is easy to come by at a farm store, and should work well with fire ant bait.

There is no listing for the ingredients that can be mistaken as a filler. This product does help reduce your hunger and hunger pains when taken as recommended, giving you the opportunity to reduce your portion size and calorie intake.

I have an older vita-mix. I know there has been some debate between blending and juicing. I think juicing is the way to go. I rather have veggie juice than anything made in the vita-mix.

All I know it is from a vegetable source, but unknown exactly what vegetables they use, but,beans, pumkin seeds and swiss chard, and soybeans high in this mineral. Considering soy is the cheapest, prob using this as main source. Just guessing.

We tried using a couple of different brand new automotive funnels, but we struggled to fill the sandbell. I think, more importantly, you would want to make sure the sand is COMPLETELY dry, which would Probably made it much easier.
