How to fill a punching bag - UPDATED

1. Get approximately 10 Pounds of sand and carefully put it in a thick garbage bag. Form it into a ball.

2. Wrap it further into 3-4 trash bags. (This is to protect the bag from splitting).

3. Roll the bag of sand to the bottom of the heavybag.

4. Fill the bag with old clothes and rags. Cut up large pieces of clothing to prevent lumps in the bag. Do not use anything with a zipper as it could damage the bag. You can also purchase recycle non-tox insulation from Home Depot - it is great for filling bags

5. Pack the rags down into the bag with a 2 by 4.

5. Be Patient. Take your time and fill it right the first timeNote: Over time the filling may settle in, at that point you will need to add more filling.

Great price on a high quality unfilled thai bag:

Essential Training Gear

I actually don't train much at night anymore (lunch time classes now) but I am often wired at night and have trouble sleeping.

When I used to train at night I would be wired for hours and always had restless nights.

OK, what am I getting at?

I would often take over the counter sleeping pills like Unisom or Tylenol PM. They knock me out BUT leave me feeling tired as heck in the morning and groggy as can be.

You guys may already know about this but MELATONIN is a natural sleep aid. You can get it at any drug store. It is cheap, effective and leaves you refreshed in the morning - not groggy. I just take a 3mg tablet and I am feeling it within 20 minutes.

I'm sharing this because I wish someone had told me about it earlier.

There really is nothing that we need more than good sleep to help our bodies recover from the beatings we inflict upon it.
