Stressed? Try hitting something

If there ever was a cure for the mundane woes and stresses of over-caffeinated city slickers – and a way to expend your wrath in a relatively wholesome way – it’s stepping into a ring and hitting something as hard as you can. With every loud “thwack” you inflict, your worries seem less significant. Nagging thoughts about your micro-managing boss, your mortgage and that everyone can see your fat thighs jiggle, seem insignificant. The harder you hit, the easier it is to exorcise those city demons. Every ounce of concentration is reserved for your next move and getting an extra ounce of power in those kicks and punches – and perhaps a word of praise from your trainer.
