This is crazy...but I can't wait for the weekend to be over so I can get to my Monday workout with the speed bag at my local fitness place! I am officially addicted AND improving!
My first post was on 12/12 and since then I've been trying to get in as many workouts as I can, usually 3-4 per week.
I bought the Speed Bag Bible and pretty much read it for 3 days, digesting the parts that I am ready for as a newbie. Saw as many YOuTube videos of of speed baggers as I could too (I love that video with the 83 year old guy!). Santa brought me some new Harbinger gloves so I'm not hitting bare knuckled anymore.
I'm now doing some of the beginner rhythms I read about in the Speed Bag Bible book, and have put together my own work out routines. Am focusing on accuracy and efficiency and viola! my speed is improving without even trying! It's like I get in the "zone" and I totally forget about everything except that little bag and how much I enjoy punching it.
In the meantime, I can see the muscle tone improving on my arms and my old frozen shoulder pain has gone away as my shoulder muscles are getting toned and stronger.
The ultimate compliment was the earlier this week when I took my 14 year old son to work out with me at the gym and he walks by the speed bag and says "wow, mom! Your doing real good! Show me how to do that!"
Anyhow, ladies, it's a great workout so check it out!
My 2009 Resolution:
To post my own speed bag video on this forum! yeah!
