Ceiling Mounted Punching Bag
Boxing workouts provide a good aerobic exercise that is not only heart healthy but also helps burn calories and fat. By mounting a punching bag at home, you can take advantage of a boxing workout at any time. Punching bags are big and heavy and will swing around when you hit them. Therefore you need enough clearance space to accommodate the movement as well as a sturdy place to install them. While wall mounts are available for these large punching bags, the most stable set-up would be a ceiling installation.

Instructions
1. Choose a location for your punching bag that is free of furniture, breakable items and other obstacles. You need to be able to move freely around the bag during exercise.
2. Use the stud finder to locate a wooden support beam or support stud joist in the ceiling (unless the wood is already exposed) where you plan to mount your punching bag. Pencil an area on the ceiling to pinpoint where you want to install your eye bolt.
3. Compare your drill bits to the end diameter of the eye bolt and choose a drill bit that is comparable in size. Use the drill to pre-drill a hole in the wooden stud.
4. Screw in the large eye bolt with your hand until it is difficult to turn. Next, use the shaft of a screwdriver as a lever to screw in the eye bolt until securely tightened.
5. Install the four "S" ends of the heavy bag to your punching bag. Carefully, lift the punching bag and hang it on the eye bolt by the large "S" hook on the opposite end of the heavy bag .
