In this issue: Andy and Jamie share some visualization techniques to help improve you on the heavy bag.
In all sports, VISUALIZATION of a positive outcome is essential. This is certainly true of boxing training. Once the basics of throwing a punch is learned, you can take your heavy bag workouts to the next level.
Imagine you are in the ring facing an opponent. Plan your strategy; think about the punches and punch combinations. With each punch you throw, imagine what response you will need to counter the opposing punch coming at you. For 3 minutes, have a tactical plan, be in the moment, “punch and get out”. Work up to that knock-out punch!
Develop an action plan for working the bag, and have a mental image of your combinations. Experience the workout. It is not a competition to see who can throw the most punches, but a finely orchestrated plan of what punches to throw and how and when to throw them. Put power behind the punches and then snap them at the end. Feel the workout, enjoy it and develop it. Remember, Don’t just think of it as a heavy bag, think of it as a strategic, focused and clearly moving sports opponent.

There is less time to keep up your fitness routine and often, the motivation to begin or continue your fitness program is more challenging than the actual exercise itself.
