Want to really get in shape? Whaling on a punching bag not only gives you a great cardiovascular workout, it also tones and strengthens your muscles, relieves stress and builds self-defense skills.
Instructions
1. Measure the area where you'll install the bag, compensating for the bag's height and the space you'll have to maneuver in during your workout.
2. Drill a hole into a hanging beam, ceiling stud or the top of a door frame. If you prefer, hang the bag from a sturdy pull-up bar installed in the doorway.
3. Screw an eyebolt (available at hardware stores) into the hole. Use eyebolts with longer shafts and screw them in using the end of a screwdriver as a lever.
4. Attach each of the chains atop the punching bag to an "S"-shaped hook. Most bags come with four chains or swivels.
5. Wrap each "S" hook with duct tape to secure each of the punching bag's chains.
6. Link the bottom end of another "S" hook onto the hanging hook of the punching bag. Secure this connection with duct tape.
7. Attach the top end of the same "S" hook onto the eyebolt in the drilled hole.
