Bag Training Knees

There is nothing I hate more than training on the Heavy Bag.  The benefits definetly out weight the negatives, but it’s not as fun as kicking Thai Pads or working the focus mitts.  The heavy bag helps you work on your power and endurance.  One of the ways I ”fool” myself into working the bag is by:
1.  Using a Timer
2.  Isolating Techniques: Knees for a round, Leg Kicks for a Round, Jab/Hooks for a Round.
3.  Working a Circuit: 1 Round Heavy Bag, 1 Round Sit-Ups/Push-Ups/Pull-Ups

 If you have any tips or tricks feel free to post a comment.

  2. I hate working on the heavy bag as well. It just doesn’t feel fluid to me. I like reading your stuff. Keep it coming.

  3. I hear what you’re saying about the heavy bag but you just got to look at it differently, imo. Timer, isolated rounds and ciruit are all good and I use them as well. But to make things a little more exciting, I try to spar with the bag. When its swings dont stop it, let it go and readjust, it’ll keep you working on your footwork. An other thing to do is combos where you shadow punch/kick/knee the first few strikes and land the “finishing” blow. Just my two cents…and keep your guard up!
