Having played football from an early age, I realised I had a lot of self motivation to stay fit all year round. In trying many different types of training & sports one stood out as being harder, more challenging, with its athletes being touted as the fittest of all.

With the glamour of "Rocky" movies and childhood champions like Muhammad Ali,

Boxing Training seemed like my all over fitness answer. Living in a rented house with a small garage was not ideal, so I sent off my pencil drawn plans for a primitive boxing stand to a mate who owned an engineering business.

That was over 35 years ago and to this day my Boxing Training Stand is still used 3 to 4 times a week! Now at 57 years old and adding a boxing timer to my iphone, my 2 minute rounds are still as challenging and satisfying as when I first started. So simple a Boxing Bag, Speedball, Jabbag (Speedball filled with sand) and Skipping Rope have given me years of motivation, fun and a great level of fitness.

I now share this with fellow Dads as just a great all over sport for their Health and Fitness and I think the ultimate #Homefitness workout....go buy a Boxing Bag!
