Boxing Drills

You don't have to be a boxer to enjoy the many health benefits of boxing. These drills are simple and fun, I recommend you get hang up a punching bag somewhere in your house or garage or back yard, (or, if you want to use a punching shield, get a friend to join you and you can take turns holding for each other.) get a decent pair of 'bag gloves', put on some of your favorite music, and …hit the bag for as long as suits you.
