heavy bag workout

[Sonicabewm]

Hey all I just got a heavy bag to workout. I need some videos or a good article on exercises that involve a heavy bag. I am a beginner and I would also like to include a workout that involves punches and kicks. thanks

How big is it?
You can shoulder it, you can do modified turkish get-ups with it (lay on the floor with the bag on your chest and stand up making sure the bag never touches the floor), squat it, if you can balance it on you back you can do pushups... other than that you could always punch/kick/knee/head butt it.
Only thing I`d suggest you not to do whole workouts of punches as they will get really hard on your shoulder joints.

Sinister has a sticky with a good routeen in the stand up forum. his is for boxing but he also has a thai boxing one in there. as a beginer it will get you right, you need to make shure your form is food so I sugest doing a little surfing and mabee geting a instructionial vid on it if having a trainer is out of the question because you don't want to get bad habbits like droping the hands or slopy footwork.
