March 9, 2014-Punching Exercise

Today I thought I do a different type of exercise by punching, which would strengthen my arms. I used to watch my brother punch a punching bag, and when I tried it I found that it was a good form of workout. I found that moving around and punching a hand pad worked wonders for my arms and shoulders. I'm not pretending to be a boxer, but I find doing these punches for at least 15 minutes makes me sweat and increases my heart rate as I punch quicker and with more strength. Also, by doing this exercise, it builds that level of confidence so if I ever need to defend myself, I would be able to fight back. Maybe in the future I will join martial arts so I can improve my techniques.
