The benefits and harms of pears. Light punching bag

Bag training is a great alternative to more traditional activities (running, cycling, swimming). Such fast and intense workouts produce a lot of sweat and burn a large number of calories. Pear workouts consist of exercises that are performed continuously over a period of time. Performing exercises with a pear, you can work on the movements of the legs, increase stamina and blow off steam.

Steps

Selection of equipment and inventory

Find or buy a heavy punching bag. If you are not ready to spend money on your own pear, find a gym where it is. Do you enjoy exercising at home? There are quite a few heavy pears on the market. Study offers and reviews and buy what is right for you.

Take a stopwatch. You will need a stopwatch in any device - a phone, a watch or even a kitchen timer will do. You will need to use a stopwatch during the warm-up, during the main workout, and during the cool-down.

Take the jump rope. A jump rope is a great exercise to warm up. Buy a new rope or use an old one that could be lying around on your mezzanine. If you plan to go to the gym, ask the staff to find you a jump rope.

Warm up

Work your joints. Start the warm-up by rotating the joints - this will lubricate them and prepare them for stress. Rotate your legs, knees, hips and shoulders. At the end, rotate the brushes.

Jump rope. Jump for at least 5 minutes, trying to increase the number of jumps. This is an excellent non-intense exercise that improves blood circulation, increases body temperature and speeds up the heartbeat. Jumping also improves coordination, which is an important element of bag training and boxing.

• If you have the opportunity to run on a treadmill or ride a bike, you can replace the jump rope with them.

1. Do stretching exercises. End your workout with stretching. First, stretch the muscles of the lower half of the body (calves, hamstrings, lower back muscles). Then move on to the upper half of the body - to the muscles of the core, upper back muscles and to the neck. If any muscles hurt, give them more time.

   Put on your boxing gloves. Such gloves are actively used during training. They are stuffed with a sufficient amount of material that protects the hands from injury. Buy quality Velcro gloves - don't save! These are the gloves you will use every day. Gloves made of quality material (good leather and foam inside) will last longer and will protect your hands well.

Pear Basics

Learn to take the correct posture. Spread your legs further than shoulder width apart. If you are right-handed, lean with the left side of your body towards the bag and lift the heel of your right foot. If you're left-handed, do the opposite. Slightly bend your knees. Pull your hands up to your face without lifting your shoulders and elbows.

Learn to move. During the exercises, you will not stand in one position - you will circle around the bag. Walk around the bag - don't jump or cross your legs. Remember to keep your legs slightly bent and your hands near your face.

Hit the bag correctly. It is important to hit the bag, not push it. During training, you need to make sharp blows, and not try to break through the target. Sharp actions allow you to concentrate energy through strong blows and fast movements. If you strike in any other way, all the force of the blow will go into the wrist.

Learn to jab. Take a starting position. Clench your hand into a fist, placing your thumb on the rest of your fingers. If you are right-handed, stretch your left hand forward; if you are left-handed, stretch your right hand. When striking, keep your wrist straight and your arm slightly bent at the elbow. Return your hand to its original position.

Learn to cross. You will need to strike with your right hand (or left if you are left-handed). Take a starting position. Turn on the heel of your right foot and rotate your leg and hip. At the same time, extend your hand. The right arm should be slightly bent at the elbow. Keep your other hand close to your face for protection. Then return the arm, thigh, leg and heel to the starting position.

Master the hook. Take a starting position. Pivot on the heel of your left foot if you are right handed. Then turn over your leg and hip. At the same time, extend your left arm horizontally past the body. Raise your elbow slightly. Keep your right hand close to your face for protection. Move your hand back to the starting position.

Try a combination of punches. Combination of blows is a bunch of two blows. First, perform a jab, and then immediately after returning to the starting position, a cross. Return to starting position.

Learn to do three hits. You will need to perform three hits in sequence. First you need to perform a jab, then a hook, and at the end - a cross.

Practicing tricks

1. Sharpen your movement skills. Do the exercises in rounds (8 rounds of three minutes with a minute of rest in between), paying attention to the movement of the legs. In the first and second rounds, go around the bag to the right, jabbing every step or every two steps. In the third and fourth rounds, go around the bag on the left, making a cross (straight punch with the right hand) for every step or every two steps. In the fifth and sixth rounds, go around the bag on the right and perform a combination of two punches for every one or two steps. In the seventh and eighth rounds, go around the bag on the left and perform a combination of three punches for each step or two steps.

   • The purpose of leg exercises is to learn how to move around the bag, and not wait until it returns to its original position.
   • Move with the bag - lean to the sides and don't be afraid to bend. Do not jump around the bag in a rigid position.
   • The pear should be at arm's length from you.

2. Work on your hitting speed. Perform several rounds of exercises (6 rounds of three minutes with a minute rest between rounds), trying to increase the speed of the blow. Stand at a distance of 50-100 centimeters from the pear. Break each round into fifteen second intervals. In the first and second rounds, lunge towards the bag and perform jabs for 15 seconds. Rest 15 seconds and continue until the end of the round. In the third and fourth rounds, do the same, but replace the jab with a combination of two punches. In the fifth and sixth rounds, replace the combination with a hook.

   • Don't think about technique during speed exercises. Your task is to quickly contract the muscles, and not hone the execution.
   • Bend your knees slightly to protect your joints.
   • Remember to breathe. Short and shallow breaths will help you increase your hand speed.

All martial arts fans practicing contact martial arts use pears (or bags) in the training process to practice punches. Initially, pears were used in a boxing environment, which is why they are commonly called boxing bags.

Currently, pears are used in almost all types of martial arts. They not only help to develop accuracy and speed of impact, but also contribute to the development of endurance, balance, the development of a sense of distance and the strengthening of striking surfaces.

There are several types of pears and bags.

This is a large cylinder made of tarpaulin, leatherette or leather filled with sawdust mixed with sand, plastic or rubber crumb. The weight of heavy pears is from 60 to 110 kg. The main purpose of a heavy pear is to develop powerful punches and develop lethal combinations. Due to its large weight, the pear is difficult to swing, therefore it is the most suitable for the work of athletes of a large weight category. In Muay Thai, powerful kicks are practiced on such a pear. The legs must be unprotected. Only beginners are allowed to use light rubbers.

Warning:

• When working with a heavy pear, you should bandage your hands and work only with special gloves.
• Be careful when moving the pear in your direction. When struck, injuries to the wrist joint are possible.
• Working with a heavy pear requires sufficient physical fitness.

2) Medium punching bag

The most common type of pear. It can be used for training both in the gym and at home. The average pear has, as a rule, a pear-shaped form. That's where its name came from. The average pear is made from tarpaulin, leatherette or leather. The filler is sawdust, rags, plastic or rubber crumb. The weight of an average pear ranges from 30 to 60 kg.

Warning:

• The pear is quite mobile, while the pear is moving in your direction, it is not recommended to strike.
• Although the pear can be used for practicing at home, due to its range of motion, it requires sufficient space.

3) Light punching bag

Designed to develop the speed and accuracy of your punches. Its weight is from 5 to 30 kg. Most often, such pears are made from leatherette and filled with rags.

4) Uppercut or horizontal bag

Designed for practicing uppercuts. It is suspended horizontally with respect to the floor level. The bag is made from leatherette or leather, its weight is from 25 to 50 kg.

5) Pneumatic bulb

Inside this pear there is a latex or rubber chamber, which is inflated with air. Such a pear is used for setting fast and sharp blows, as well as for practicing reaction and ligaments with slopes. When working with such a pear, you can beat it in oncoming traffic, fly in or dodge it. Pneumatic pears are available in standard or reduced sizes.

Warning:

- Since the bag is quite light and capable of developing great speed when returning to its original position, working with it requires a good reaction and increased attention.

6) Thai bag (in everyday life "banana")

Reminds a standard boxing bag, but has a length of 150-180 cm. The weight of the bag is 60-100 kg. The bag is mainly used for kicking. The bag is able to deform from impacts throughout the entire volume, therefore it is weakly amenable to buildup.

7) Water-filled mannequin

The most modern development. It acts as a punching bag, but is made of the latest materials and is a mannequin on a plastic base.

How to work with a pear

With any kind of pear should be worked only after a warm-up. The warm-up depends on the sport and the training program.

Working with a big punching bag

Work with a big pear should be carried out exclusively in the presence of a coach and, as a rule, according to a plan specially created by him. When working, you should monitor the position of the hand and fist. The fist should be clenched at the very last moment, almost in full contact with the pear. After contact with the pear, the hand should not linger; it should be immediately returned to its original position.

The blow must be applied at a very high speed. When working with a big bag, punches are combined with movements forward, backward and sideways, which contributes to the development of footwork. The work is often carried out in a free style, which involves a wide variety of movements. Since working with a big pear is quite tiring, in the event of fatigue, classes should be stopped or more attention should be paid not to percussion, but to protective techniques. Otherwise, the movements will be performed and remembered incorrectly.

Working with a medium pear

Working with such a pear is almost the same as with a heavy pear. The only difference is that the medium bag is much more mobile than the heavy bag, and this allows you to strike from a variety of positions.

Video: How to hit a pear

Working with a pneumatic bulb can be done in two ways. In the first case, it is recommended to strike the pear at different angles, because of which the pear acquires a chaotic movement. After that, you should strike a clear blow on it. In the second case, clear direct blows are applied to the pear, setting the pear in motion of one axis (in a straight line back and forth). Thus, the accuracy of strikes and the correct placement of the fist are developed.

Pear enema: when to apply and how to choose

A pear for an enema is more convenient to use when there is a need to administer a liquid in volume not exceeding half a liter. If we are talking about large volumes, then it is more expedient to use Esmarch's mug.

On sale you can see pears with a volume of 50 grams (intended for the children's body) to 300 grams (for the adult part of the population), sometimes there are specimens of half a liter.

If we talk about the tips, then they are plastic and rubber or silicone. Now pharmacies sell disposable syringes with a special laxative solution already inside for setting an enema.

For an adult, in most cases, just the same volumes of a standard pear are enough. That is why it is in almost every home, especially where they suffer from the problem of constipation.

If you want to carry out the procedure of a cleansing enema, then it is better to resort to Esmarch's mug, since otherwise the pear will need to be filled several times.

How to give an enema? Preparatory stage

Not everyone knows how to make an enema with a pear correctly. That is why it is so important to learn as much as possible about it before carrying out the procedure, as well as consult with your doctor.

So, in order to put an enema, you need to prepare the following inventory:

• enema tool (in our case, a rubber pear);
• water in the right volume or as a solution with glycerin or another substance;
• vaseline, baby cream or vaseline oil;
• oilcloth.

Before the procedure, the pear itself should be thoroughly washed with soapy water, and the same should be done with the tip.

If you use plain water, then follow the temperature rules: no more than 35 degrees.

If you add glycerin or any other substance, then also do no harm. Glycerin or vegetable oil is taken from the proportion of a tablespoon to half a liter of water.

Basic rules for setting a pear enema

First you need to prepare a place where the pear enema will be performed. A horizontal surface (bed, sofa, floor) is best suited, which should first be covered with oilcloth.

The next step will be a set of enema solution in a pear. To do this, it is necessary to squeeze the instrument so that all the air comes out of it, then lower the enema tip into the container with the prepared liquid and, gradually weakening the pressure, draw the required amount of water into the syringe. In order to remove excess air from the pear, it is necessary to slightly press on the walls so that a little liquid comes out.

If you are doing the enema yourself, then, as soon as you have prepared for further manipulations, you need to take the necessary position: “lying on your side in the fetal position” is best, but “squatting” or “on all fours” can be used. In the event that the procedure is performed by another person, this position can be taken in advance.

The next step is to lubricate the tip of the enema and the anus with cream or petroleum jelly in order to facilitate its introduction, as well as to avoid injuries and microcracks.

Slightly spread the buttocks of the patient with your fingers and gently insert the tip of the pear into the anus, plunging it inward by about 3 cm. Then, slightly squeezing the syringe, it is necessary to evenly ensure the flow of fluid from the pear into the intestines. When the liquid in it is over, carefully remove the tip. The patient must restrain the urge to empty the bowels for at least 5-10 minutes. After this time, you can go to the toilet.

The pear itself and its tip after each douching procedure should be washed and sterilized.

If the enema did not bring the desired result, the procedure can be repeated no earlier than after 6 hours. If you think the reason for this result is the lack of use of plain water, then next time you can try adding glycerin, salt, chamomile or vegetable oil.
