Yes it works!
When I was about 9 or 10 I made myself a punching bag, just a plastic carrier bag full of old paper or plastic bags. I hung it from a tree in the garden. I would rush out of the house, swing jump over the garden gate into the street, pelt along the street then race back, vault the gate and batter the punch bag to destruction.
Bim Bam Smash Thunk Whop KO!
Why???
Was I acting out compensation for bottled up aggression?
Nah, I was a Bronco Lane fan.
Ty Hardin was my all-time hero!!!!!
That was when cowboys ruled and British children were allowed to see them on TV.
Now back to today. Yes I did go out. Yes it was grey and damp weather and uninspiring. No I did not find my steps leading to the gym. However, I walked about 2 or 3 miles and feel a lot less tense.
If only Bronco Lane would show up and I could get this plastic bag hung up properly in the garden...
Best
