AlanD Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Have you got space to hang a heavy bag? Nothing works better for fitness, takes up less time than a skipping and heavy bag workout and funnily enough it's the perfect antidote to a stressful day! I typically skip for 3 minutes than put on my gloves and do a 2 minute round working the bag, back to a 3 minute skip back to the bag. By the third set I am feeling properly poked and have to slow down my efforts. That's just 15 minutes done! I use this twice a week and it's done wonders for my state of fitness and mind! Highly recommended. Loads of how to videos on how to wrap your hands before putting on gloves. It's way cheaper than all the electronic fitness devices and it's full on!Jislaak, that's a plan. So like a boxing bag handing from the garage or outside?
EmptyB Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Think she will be upset if I send her out and ask to get beer while she's out?Why on earth would that upset her...
Tubehunter Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Jislaak, that's a plan. So like a boxing bag handing from the garage or outside? Garage works lekka, but make sure it's somewhere that you don't have to constantly put it up and take it down. Doing that will eventually make it a mission if you're trying to fit in a quick workout. If you have an outdoor area that is undercover somewhere with a 'dead' spot that works even better. Once the bag is up and you have the necessary bits, than it comes down to your own discipline! I've done years of all kinds of training and for a time crunch and having to be at home nothing comes close! P.S. I have a Nintendo Wii with the balance boards and all the extras for my kids and it's a gimmick. We mostly use it on unsuspecting extended family members to watch how unco-ordinated they are as a comedy session before dinners!

AlanD Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Why on earth would that upset her...As she will be upset that she couldn't buy me more beer as she couldn't carry it all due to having to push the Pram...lol

I got into it to the point that I took part in a fight night and that was another experience altogether. Here's a useful link to get lost on:http://www.expertboxing.com/boxing-training/bag-training/how-to-hit-a-heavy-baghttp://www.expertboxing.com/boxing-training/bag-training/10-heavy-bag-training-tips You might want to get the missus in on using the bag too. It'll do wonders for her stress levels too! It's also really empowering to actually work out what self defensive skills you possess than to imagine how you react in situations based on watching too many action movies and participating in this type of training will highlight that for you!
Joeboy69 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Must admit I never considered a boxing bag ... always thought that is something the teenage kickboxing wannabees buy from Sportsman Warehouse /let me find a spot
AlanD Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Having a look around today i thought the lapa would be a great spot as i could hang to move around the bag. Only thing is that i wpuld have to take it down when we have visitors but we dont have visitors in the week so then it would be perfect :-)
