Punching Bag Training Tips
When you are really angry, tense or have a lot on your mind, it is better to do something constructive rather than going all negative in terms of your outlook on different things. Many people prefer hitting things when they are frustrated and angry. However, rather than venting your frustration out on living things, letting your emotions get the best out of you on a punching bag is more advisable as unintentionally, doing this will make your body stronger and you will have a good workout for some time.

These days, gyms are equipped with great machines and every gym has a punching bag. If you don’t want to go to the gym, you can have your own punching bag at home.

Now before you start throwing punches on the bag, it is advisable that you do a good warm up as it will lubricate your joints and warm them up before you start the work out.

It is going to be better if you start making circles around your feet and then slowly bring the rest of your body portions like knees, hips, spine, neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists in to action. Through this, all these body parts will be in tandem which will consequently make the movement smoother.

If you are good at it, grab hold of a skipping rope and do the exercise for at least five minutes. This activity will help you increase your blood circulation which is important for coordination.

Without the aforementioned warm up exercises, you will be able to work out on the punching bag but you will have a very hard time in making proper movements and your body will not be warm enough. Furthermore, by ignoring proper warm ups, you also stand the risk of getting an injury or a cramp so it is always better to warm up properly before any kind of work out. The same goes for all kinds of sports.

Now that your body is fully warmed up, circle around the punching bag and throw a punch or a jab here and there to get a feel of the bag. Do this for at least three times and give three minutes to each turn.

Now start practising cross punches and keep doing this activity for the next three minutes for two rounds at least.

Now, repeat the same drill but this time makes sure that you combine the two previous techniques to form a combo.
