Boxing workout

Okay I will work on that and see if that helps...I do know that when I get someone holding the mitts they keep moving or backing up which drives me crazy...I prefer to work by myself on the bag....but I will make sure I am closer...and see if that makes a difference

they're moving back on the mitts to teach you to step forward with your punches, BUT I would not do this with a new fighter until they learn their balance. The easiest way to gauge your correct distance is to hold your extended punching hand, and touch the bag---then you take 1/2 step back, and that is your 'punching' range.

Thanks so much for all the help...well see tonight how it feels

How old am I....lol 40...yes I know it could be age related lol...i think it is from going to hard on the bag

wow 40 and into lifting and boxing
my kinda girl ; o)

maybe your throwing too hard
do you try to destroy the bag or the pads or just hit them solidly?

I figured if she was trying to hammer the bag too hard, she would have already hurt her wrists. But that would be a sharp pain. A dull ache isn't always bad.

 

[Gymgurl]

My wrists never hurt,....okay the instructor thoght it ws the jarring of the heavier bag...we use mits in class which have give...that is why I am not sore form that....and my bogy was not used to the bag with hardley any give....but I know I let that bag have it too...

good bag gloves are a must and wraps.

 

[novamanms]

Gloves and Wraps are certainly beneficial, but a wrap can actually make things worse if it isn't on properly.
