How Do You Punch A Punching Bag?
Punching a punching bag takes great endurance, skill and coordination. If you are not in good aerobic condition before training regularly on the bag, then you will be soon after. When you punch the bag, the idea is to keep the body limber until your point of impact. Think of yourself like a snake coiled up in the grass and ready to strike on a would-be victim. With the use of some upper body agility and fancy footwork, you can be punching the bag like a seasoned veteran. Protect your hands. It is very important to wear gloves when you work out on any punching bag. Otherwise, you can really damage your knuckles and the skin on them. Use gloves that offer comfort and good shock absorption. Hitting the speed bag is used for just that–increasing punching speed. The key thing to do here is get a good rhythm going. Start out slow and then gradually work up to a fast pace. There are a few different cadences you can do. Some of these include two punches in a row per hand, alternating punches.
