Idea of Exercise to replacing the Heavy Bag

I understand the idea and think it may actually help with stability and rotation.

However, with the elbows flared like that I'd be afraid that would commit itself to muscle memory

Tie a woodyband to something and put it behind your neck. A green one would be fine.

Scrap, i traied ot with it with the band of my double end back. This band is really tight and i need all my weight to stretch it But i think i get the idea. Now my head stays almost at one place and i am rotating just around my spine...

Another way is with a Fitball, put it on a wall, and put your back to it. gives great posture and good technique, by not letting the ball drop, gives great mechanics.

I don't have fitball, but i can imagine that i must push backwards to keep the ball up... When i punch without the ball will that result in that, that i am not going to let my body to go forward? I must give the exercise with the band more time. Its really not natural for me... Maybe i have done everything wrong...

Its a great little trick to teach your body some good habits in punch mechanics.
