Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand beside a suspended heavy bag in a staggered athletic stance and place both hands or the assigned hand firmly against it.
- 02Brace the trunk, load the hips slightly, and wait until the bag is nearly still.
- 03Drive through the feet and rotate the hips and torso to thrust the bag forcefully away from you.
- 04Absorb and guide the returning bag with bent elbows and a stable stance rather than letting it strike or pull you off balance.
- 05Reset the bag and your foot position before each repetition, then complete the other side as programmed.
