After only a few rounds I’m drenched. I often get cramp in my left calf which feels like a dog bite. When I hit with my left (I’m left handed) I’m twisting and pushing off from the floor with my left foot. I don’t know if that helps or should I make sure my feet stay planted? If reading this you and you know more than I do, please let me know in a comment below!
I don’t really know what I’m doing but damn, it feels good!

i asked my personal trainer this morning (we do this punchbag stuff sometimes - its a killer).
ReplyDeletethe thing to do is keep your stance with one foot forward at 12 oclock and the rear at 2 oclock. you keep your feet where they are put you stand with legs bent, supple, and on the balls of your feet.
i think this ones a killer - of all the exercised and cruel sadistic shit this guy put me through (even running round the car park with a medicine ball held above my head) the punchbag is the thing that really exhausts you. 'nuff repect for boxers innit.
Cheers for the tips GG! I'm very impressed you've got a personal trainer. Did the bike ride inspire you?
ReplyDeleteInnit, too right. Thank God the punchbag doesn't hit back.
