Starting Position
Stand facing a heavy boxing bag about one foot from the bag. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Bend your elbows and keep them low at your sides, with your hands up at chin level and protecting the face.

Exercise

1. From the starting position, rapidly throw alternating gut punches straight into the bag. Aim for the gut of your imagined opponent and punch as fast as you can. Keep your upper body close to the bag, and your elbows low as you punch. Engage your center to control your upper body, so that the rapid movement of your arms doesn't make your shoulders swing around.
2. Continue to punch the bag with alternating fists in a steady, rapid rhythm for 30 seconds.
