Fun and Effective Heavy Bag Training Exercises, Techniques and Workouts , Monday, February 1, 2010 at 5:50 AM, in

Heavy bag training is a staple of any boxing workout or routine. It's really the meat and potatoes of training for boxing, which is why you'll find so many boxing training tips that deal with improving your performance while using the bag. Here are a few more exercises, techniques and routines that should make your heavy bag training both fun and effective whether you're looking to buy your first punching bags for sale or you're a longtime boxing and fitness enthusiast.
One of the heavy bag training routines I always perform is to box for a round while throwing nothing less than a 4 punch combination. That means that every time you throw a punch you have to throw a minimum of 4. In this way, you'll keep your work rate and exercising intensity up. You'll also be honing your skills for effective combination punching.
Another one of the heavy bag training exercises that I like is the round dedicated to infighting. During this round, spend your time much closer to the bag, practicing infighting, clinching and dirty boxing. Work on your inside defensive maneuvers, shortening up your punches, punching your way out of trouble and more. You can even try resting your forehead against the bag to give you a more realistic account of what fighting in close quarters can be like.
As far as boxing training tips go, one of my favorites is the 250 punch heavy bag training round. This is exactly as it sounds, basically you are challenged to throw 250 punches in a single 3-minute round. That's way more than a punch per second, and during this heavy bag routine you still have to try to use solid fundamentals and punch with force. It's a challenging three minutes that will always keep you striving for improvement.
Of course, you can come up with your own heavy bag exercises and routines as well. A few others I like to incorporate are rounds devoted entirely to hard body shots, rounds devoted to defense and movement, rounds spent practicing the strictest of form and more.
These are just a few ideas and boxing training tips to help get you started in the right direction. Using these heavy bag training tips, exercises and routines will help you to get into the best shape of your life, while keeping your workouts fun, unique and engaging.
