I’m No Rocky

Last Saturday I went to the gym and did something I haven’t done in a VERY long time. I worked out on the heavy bag. Think boxing.

I’ve been training in martial arts since I was 15 (I’m 200 years old now lol). I’ve competed in tournaments, taught dozens of students and have put in countless hours of training over the years. But as of late, as in the last ten years, I have been backing off on my fight training and focusing on cardio and strength training.

Saturday’s boxing session on the heavy bag was fun. It brought me back to my fight training days. But I’ll tell you, it’s one hell of a workout, especially if you haven’t done that type of a workout in a long time. I was sucking some serious air.

I think I’m going to make pounding the heavy bag my Saturday thing, moving forward. And couple that with some strength training, it will be a good time.
