i usually carry a sandbag around in various ways for 20-30 mins on off days, just walking with it in my garden. because im only walking, and not moving quickly, i can carry heavier loads, although im still pretty out of breath after 20 mins. ive found that in doing so, ive probably moved away from the length of time and gone with progressively heavier bags (ego.
would it be wise to maybe reshape my sangbag work-go much lighter with the bags and focus on moving quickly with them so im working my lungs and heart well, rather than just building strength with heavier bags?
any sort of input would be appreciated 
Doing any sandbag work will work your lungs and heart, it’s not mutually exclusive from getting stronger.

i just feel as though what im doing isnt working enough. im not in the best shape (cardio wise)but i used to be. and im trying to get back to a pont where im able to move around without tiring out asap.
so if going lighter with the sandbag and moving faster with it is a better option, then id gladly chose that rather than a heavier bag and going slower. so is the lighter bag prefeable?

Personally, I feel that it would be harder to go heavier and work on going quicker with that. Although it’s really up to you to see which one works better for you.
ill try it your way and see how things go. its probably just a case of me growing some balls and just doing what needs to be done!
Sounds good. Best of luck.
