There are many workouts for punchbags and here are some benefits to be gained from them-
- Toning up the muscles
- Cardio workout for the heart
- Burning fat
- Building upper body strength
- Building upper body stamina
- Maintaining flexibility
- Adding another level to your self defence
- Punching a punchbag is a great stress reliever
There is no exaggeration to the list above, those are the benefits of all workouts for punchbags. Whether you do this totally original PUNCHBAG WORKOUT or some other form of punching workout these are your goals.
The Punchbag Workout will NOT teach you how to box but it will give you the tools to be a better boxer.
Most cardio or circuit training exercise routines will have some kind of punching movement in them. Why? because the whole punching movement is a great form of exercise, some even do it with light dumbbells.
Different types of punches
Here are a few different types of punches you should try to fit in, as they bring different muscles into action. As I said before, the more you do the workout the more you learn the commands. Then you will have more time to think about the type of punch to throw.
You can even use the elbows like they do in kickboxing or instead of punching do kicks. Then when you think you’ve mastered the whole 12 round workout try strapping some light wrist weights to your wrists and start again.
