I wasn't even suggesting membership anywhere, just getting a bag, hanging it yourself and doing work.
It's $150-200 for a decent bag and stand/hardware. You can get sick combos on walmart.com
My point about toning is that boxing is a form of light weighted training - in other words, you work all your muscles. Not to the same degree as lifting, but its good for general maintenance.
Sorry, I've related practicing boxing with training with coach, pad work, foot work, ect. ect. Heavy bag work is a very small part of a boxer's training.
If you're just hitting the bag at home might as well throw in kicks, knees and elbows. It's fun and it'll improve your balance and overall coordination as well. Set a timer for three/five minute rounds and really push yourself while maintaining good technique.
Now as a fat slob I haven't done anything in years and have zero desire to get back into combat sports. Walking my dog is a pleasurable experience as long as you're in a nice quiet neighborhood. I've always loved swimming and can't wait to get back into it.
Weights + Swimming + LCHF will most likely be the summary of my success story.
