Punching Bag Exercises - They Are For Everyone, Not Just Fighters

The moment someone sees a punching bag, whether it be on a picture or a movie or even in real life, let's say a sporting goods store, they all think of boxing. Most even take it a step further and think of the famous Rocky Balboa and have the song Eye of the tiger playing in their head. If in a store almost every other person would punch it just for the hell of it. It is called a punching bag for a purpose right?

So how come everyone wants to punch it and at least goof around with one, yet still most of the people out there believe it is for professional use only. I myself have been running a business dealing with sporting goods (martial arts equipment) and have found that over 95% of my customers for punching bags were ordinary people that have nothing to do with martial arts. Almost 50% of them just want to "sweat it out" and most have a little place set up just for "her".

I offer them advice on how to use it to really get the sweat going. I myself have been practicing martial arts for almost a decade and have done my share of sweating. But nothing came even close to a real 1:1 session with the bag. She never gets tired, she never gets hurt and she never complains to go easy on her (excuse my personalization of the bag and naming it "she"). These three facts alone make it possible to cram a highly intensive workout into 15 minutes or less that will really get your cardio going. This is does not include warm-ups.

You will have fun at it as well. If training by yourself you can also let a lot of steam go and pretend the bag is your boss or annoying neighbour that constantly steals your parking space. Satisfaction is guaranteed. You can use kicks, punches or best of all both.

I would suggest looking into the basic elements of punching (straight punch, hook punch and uppercut) along with proper techniques for low-middle-high kicks. The purpose for this is not to make you look like Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee but to prevent injuries that may occur and also to ad a list of workouts you can do when combining these elements together. You could get the basics on YouTube and similar sites.

The lists are endless but for starters here are some basic workouts for beginners:

- 5 min warm-up with stretching of all the joints

- 5 series of 3 minute intervals with 2 minutes rest in between

The 3 minute intervals should consist of no less than 2 and no more than 5 techniques (if skilled you could add more).

Here are my favourites:

1.) L, R, L (cross)

2.) L, R,L (cross), R (middle)

3.) R, L, R (cross), L (low)

4.) R, L, R (upper), L (cross)

5.) All kicks and punches in all forms

L = left, R= Right, if there is no ( ) it s a straight punch otherwise.

Train hard and stay safe.

Punching Bag $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A punching bag (US) or punchbag (UK) is a sturdy bag designed to be repeatedly punched, for use in physical exercise or stress relief in order to improve one of three areas: physical strength, aerobic fitness, or punching technique. Punching bags have been used in martial arts and swordplay for as long as there has been a written history of military training. Similar apparatus in Asian martial arts include the Okinawan makiwara and the Chinese mook jong, which may have padded striking surfaces attached to them. In martial arts and combat sports such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai; heavy bags, standing bags, and similar apparatuses have been adapted for practicing kicking and other striking maneuvers in addition to developing punching technique.

Punching In $10.99 Curious to know just what happens behind the "employees only" doors of big companies, journalist Alex Frankel embarked on an undercover reporting project to find out how some of America's well-known companies win the hearts and minds of their retail and service employees. Frankel knew the only way to find answers was to go native. During a two-year urban adventure through the world of commerce, Frankel applied for and was hired by a half-dozen companies: he proudly wore the brown uniform of the UPS driver, folded endless stacks of T-shirts at Gap, brewed espressos for the hordes at Starbucks, interviewed (but failed to get hired) at Whole Foods, enrolled in management training at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and sold iPods at the Apple Store. At the heart of Punching In lies Frankel's quest to find out how some of the giants of commerce turn thousands of average job applicants into loyal—even fanatical—workers. How do they identify and recruit workers who will best fit their companies? How do they indoctrinate employees into their corporate cultures and make them perfect messengers of their brands? Along the way Frankel pauses long enough to wonder why he is so often immune to corporate attempts to win employees over. In this lively and entertaining narrative, Frankel takes readers on a personal journey into the land of front-line employees to discover why some workers are so eager to drink the corporate Kool-Aid and which companies know how to serve it up best.
