Answer 2

There are many benefits to a punching bag. It is a great aerobic exercise. It also helps tone all sorts of muscles: shoulders, biceps, triceps, chest, back, abs, and legs(if you are moving around the bag, and on your toes). In addition it is a great way to relieve stress from the day. You just need to be sure you watch a couple things as not to injure yourself. Proper breathing is key to any kind of exercise. Never hold your breath, and exhale as you punch if possible. Also make sure you don't just hit the bag to try and destroy it. Think of throwing punches not to land on the bag as hard as possible, but how quickly you can pull your punch back into your body. This will help in avoiding the abrupt forces that can cause fractures over the long term in your forearms, wrists, and hands. It wouldn't hurt to actually take a class to learn proper form. Throw in some jump roping and some weights and you got an awesome regimen.
