Good morning all! How are we this morning?
How many people here spent time with the heavy bag?
My son wanted me to teach him how to fi.. ahem..defend himself. So I went out and bought a pair of father son boxing gloves. Well I ended up coming home with an 80lb punching bag, special wrist protecting gloves, and an attitude that Rocky Balboa himself couldn't touch this.
After only three days, I am sore from head to toe. I am a pretty physical guy anyway, so I decided to start at 1-hour workout sessions. Gasping for air in under ten minutes I decided to break up my workout sessions into 4 groups of 15 minutes. Working the bag works just about every muscle you can think of. Add in various right and left kicks and even your nuts start aching.
My boy loves the heck out of it. I see him kicking the crap out of it all the time. This has me both happy and concerned. I am glad he is learning to protect himself, however if I don't keep up by the time he turns 15 I’m going to be in some serious trouble.
